    Skateboard is good!!!! You can certainly start with an 8", but be prepared for smaller planets, galaxies etc. However, if you start with the 8, get a cgem mount or a C-5, not the 8se with the altazimuth mount. That really is a waste. You can get a focal reducer that will make the image smaller for nebulae and will speed up your f/10 to f/6.6 or f/3.3. I'd also try starting with a Canon dslr like a T3 unmodidied and see how that goes for you. Then you can decide on what you think of the galaxy size, nebulae, and camera. Dave
