I see that the 8" is on sale right now for $150 off too... Not sure how
long that will last, but I'm VERY tempted to pick up my phone and place an
order. That mount is rated up to 40lbs so I suspect that an 8"
mirror/tube
shouldn't stress it too much at all, although the 8 D-cell power demand
would eat me out of house and home! They do have a lead-acid field
battery
pack though...

Mine did not have a computer, just to let you know. Orion has a good
reputation; charged me an arm to ship though.
