Ok, another thought...
If I choose the 8 inch, but can't right now afford the HEQ5 mount, the remaining option I have is NOT just to get a dobsonian! Why not stick to the original idea I had at the start of this thread and get one for much cheaper with the EQ5 manual mount! That should satisfy me for a while until I take the plung and get a fully motorised mount and expensive photography gear later.
Interesting!
