The 8" LX200GPS choice is ONLY if you intend doing astrophotography. I myself am looking for a second scope for visual/occultation work and it won't be an LX200. I'm tossing up between the Meade LS8 (for outreach and ease of carrying) or a 12" GOTO Dob (but not sure I want to lug a 12" mirror around).

(I have a 14" LX200GPS dedicated to astrophotography - ie no visual work)

Cheers
