Hi Matt,
Check out my thread
here in which I recommend ALL the bits you might need (in my opinion) to get started with a dob, both the goto and the normal push to version....
You may need to update the pricing using Andrews Comms website or others for the scope, but it basically has suggestions on scope, accessories, and lots of input from others to fine tune what I thought was a good starting point without going over the top.
Keep the costs down with an 8" standard dob, but there is no substitute for efficiency of goto for cramming in lots of things to look at with such little effort required to align it.
Take a look, it may help you decide, and will show you what else to expect to buy to complement the scope in terms of accesories.
Cheers
Chris
