Thanks for the info - affordability - ok for the $780 pn the GS 10" if that's THE scope I will have for a long time. If I am going to get into upgrade mode then the 8* is more attractive. Portability is not an issue as the scope will live at one site.

The GS 8" at $580 includes a Crayford 'style' focuser.

If I do get into this I can imagine getting into the photography side so that would mean a change of mounts, or even scope which brings the 8" into the equation - good as a portable second scope and upgrade. Or would a mount upgrade on the 10" be enough?

Gee this is confusing and I guess I won't know until i jump in whether I got the right beast or not!!

Scot me up Beamie!
