I'm mostly a reflector guy and I'm contemplating an 8" f8 mirror in an ultralight truss to try on the GP.  I have a 15" Dob that I love but would like some tracking.                
Well, if it's this model: "it is rated to carry telescopes to 4 inch refractor, 8 inch SCT or 6 inch Newtonian size."
