Had a chance to use my 8" f/8 Teeters Dob with Royce optics last nite, the seeing was a good 8! I have to rate the Royce optic as another world class optic, it's rite up there with the Zambutos and OMI- torus optics i've owned!
Jupiter showed much fine detail, the red spot has a more pinkish color to it this year than i've noitced in many years, the moon at 400x was APO like super sharp, images snap into focus. Deepsky also show super contrast with a nice dark sky background, thanks to a very smooth mirror.
I may convert this optic for use in a tube OTA, and mount it on well built, over size EQ mount!
