Thanks. I was leaning toward a reflector. What is the Meade 8” price range?

eBay has one starting bid at $550. It is almost exactly what I had and they are very versatile and still allows for seeing deep space objects. The goto feature of Autostar is fantastic and allows for rapid enjoyment. Gotta warn you, though, once you start, it becomes addictive.
