[NOT REQUIRED] Celestron CPC 8" scope

[Liz]

I am being lured over to the dark side, so was wondering if anyone was looking to upgrade their 8" scope to a larger size. Just wondering .....

Think hard before you do it Liz.
I just crossed from the dark side, selling my CPC1100 and buying a skywatcher 10" flexdob.

Apart from saving thousands of dollars, and even losing goto and tracking, I am finding renewed visual enjoyment with the DOB.

I guess it depends on what you hope to find in the smaller CPC?

Mmm, Ok Allan, I will take that on board. I have had the 10" flex Dob for ages, which i love, but want some goto/tracking for visual and a little AP.
