Setting up Multiple Telescopes for both visual and imaging.

I am thinking of getting more than one telescope, so that I can enjoy both planets, and DSO.

Rather than get two mounts ... I am thinking of having them atop or side by side.

Once I decide what kinds of telescopes and the pros and cons each will have in the other with regard to setting them up on the same mount...

And yes ... I need to decide on what type of mount and type of telescope... but I'm a bit slow like that:

WHAT KIND OF RINGS is what I am thinking so that they are on the same target....

My mate does not like planets ... I do ... so I am looking for a good scope for planets ... I have read some good things about making a long focal length 8in or even ten inch Newtonian ???

I have to admit, the idea of using an 8" f8 (???) would make a good base for an ED80 perhaps???

Would I need the EQ6Pro or could I get away with an HEQ5Pro......

I know I have asked these questions before...but this time the money is building up and I am excited...............

So lets talk...tell me what I have left out and what I need to know...??
