Default Losmandy GM-8 vs. GP-DX

Hi Everyone:

I've Google'd the web and have not been able to come up with anything on
this - perhaps someone here can help.

I am in the market for an aftermarket GEM GOTO system for my C8. The
primary use will be to observe LEO satellites (ISS, etc.) and
astrophotography.

I have seen much discussion on the merits of the GP-DX/SkySensor 2K
combo for this but not the Losmandy/Gemini system. Inasmuch as SkySensor
2K seems to be temporarily unavailable, I am leaning toward the Losmandy
product.

Has anyone here used the Losmandy products for satellite observation,
and, if so, what were the results (good, bad, falls short of
expectations, etc.).

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank's in advance and clear skies.

Mark Molnar
