Mark, I would look at the used market for an SCT, some good deals to be had locally. Some very good deals to be had from US. Have a look at Astromart. The real headache is getting finding someone willing to ship it and 2 who is capable of packing it well for shipment. I had a C8 Fastar sent over and it arrived safe and sound.
Have you ruled out a 8" Newt or Dob? If only visual then this or a 10" are
good bang for buck.
BTW I did notice a LX90 8" EMC in the used section price is very good compared to the new ACF OTA cost. IMHO a very good scope, my greatest regret is i sold mine. By far the best grab and go I ever had.
Edit: I just noticed there is more than one LX90 on sale one is a bit newer UHTC model.
Regards
Fahim
