It might help to have a look so you can see what an 8" scope gives you.

These are some images from a C8 with a webcam.

Looking good!

Would it be fair to say that observing through an 8" Dobsonian (which I believe is essentially a "ground mounted" Newtonian?) is comparable to looking through a C8 - which I think is an SCT? Both different types of Newtonians?
