+1 for a C8 or Meade 8" SCT, I love these scopes. You can go visually down to F6.3 and up to F10 and beyond. And they are just so compact. The LX90 scope I had previously was my most utilised scope.
I imported my C8 Fastar (late 80'e early 90's model) from the US. And these days I have seen a few come up on Amart for as little as 300$. If you can convince someone to ship it over to you then its a steal. The shipping costs go up if you include mounts like a Nextar SE setup, but still a bargain compared to local pricing. And the Nexstar SE mount is a nice portable moutn no polar alignment just plonk and go. For visual this is a great setup. Also check Optcorp they have used ones on there that they will ship over. You can ask for a cheaper surface shipping option also.
