I totally agree with Malcolm (bartx1963) To think your going to see flowing bright nebulas, galaxies dripping from the eyepiece in a 8" is a dream. Why have something that needs battery power (other than perhaps for an ArgoNavis) to view the stars visually. Globular clusters only really start to shine at about 12" and nebula start to look the part as well. Get a small 10" or 12" Dob with an Argonavis so you can find things easily. I have never understood why anyone would buy something like the lx90 or lx200 for visual use, or any other use actually.
