What's your primary requirement??
Do you want to image???
Or do you intend to view??
Do you want full auto finding & tracking so that you do not have to "find" objects manually (GO-TO)
Or are you happy finding things yourself?? (Push-TO)
For Imaging
I personally am not into imaging & so can't advise on what's suitable.
For visual
Push-To - you'd be better to buy as big a Dob as you can afford. For visual, appeture is a must. For the price you'd pay for a CPC800 you'd get a 12" dob with $900 change.
GO-TO there are lots of options. I have both an SCT & Dob GO-TO scopes. I tend to mainly use the Dob because the SCT takes ages to set up & is a smaller appeture.
The Dobs I have are also much easier & quicker to align than my SCT.
For an extra $150 over the CPC800 price you'd get a 14" GO-TO Dob
Both are HUGE appeture advantages over the 8". Please remember that my suggestions are for visual only.
