Hi Stu,
yep, the HEQ5 should handle an 8" dob tube, just take the side bits off the dob if you think they weigh a bit and find some rings to mount to a dovetail.
I have an 8" 1000mm focal length BD200N on my HEQ5 and its fine for AP, once I get my guiding cranking, I can take some shots longer than 30 secs with my DSLR to really get some tight stars.
Should be sweet.
Cheers
Chris
