Telescopes are built to a price. So for 2k you either get a basic EQ mount (CG5) or a single arm mount like the Nexstar, or the double arm CPC series.
C8 is great for visuals, as mentioned below, esp the latter ones with Starbright XLT coating. A good mount is a must for AP work. Their OTA is lighter than Meades of the same aperture and there are heaps of accessories you can get (most interchangeable with Meades).
HTH, Bo
