I see the Orion SkyQuest XT8 is in the report. I have a SkyQuest XT10i, a really good telescope with 2-inch focuser and eyepieces too. The XT8 is lighter weight, as you move up in main or primary mirror size, the tube and Dob mount get heavier and heavier Hauling around big telescopes with plenty of weight and equipment in big fields, helps keep you in shape
