The old 8" from 1874 still gives excel planatary & lunar views with the old Brandon eyepieces, much crisper on planets than the 12", we have it on a German EQ, but eyepiece location can be tricky, we have small steps & put the tube both over & under the mount...the public are very happy with a planet view & lunar close up, galaxies in the city are a waste iPod time, even carina neb is hopeless in Melb city, Sydney would be the same, orion is ok
