I am looking at a used Clestron Nextar 8i XLT for planetary/deep sky viewing and possibly entry level photography with a DSI. I've tried to do some research, but not much luck. Any opinions on this particular set-up? Thanks.

I also discoverd a Celestron Celestar 8 (no go to capability). It looks like it has a fork mount and an equitorial wedge with motor. Would this solve the clearance problem? Quite a bit less money also.
