The GSO 8" as I understand it are very similar quality wise optically to the skywatcher 200p

Therefore the 8" GSO should be a very good all round scope for planetary and DSO. For fainter DSO then a dark site will certainly be of great benefit to get the best out of the 8" aperture of the scope.

The GSO 8" should be a good choice. If you can get some reasonable quality eyepieces also. The BST starguiders get some good feedback on this site.

I hope this helps ☺

An 8" telescope will show you some great views during the best seeing conditions and when the planets are placed in a good position. As far as DSO, I did see amazing detail through my 8" too.. it's a very good aperture all round scope.
