Also, there is an Explore Scientific 80mm f8 carbon fiber doublet refractor on a GOTO equatorial with solar filter for $370. Not H-alpha, but possibly a good scope for the upcoming eclipse.

This is not true at all. A Dobsonian can give you a wide field of view with a 2" lens. Even with the included 1.25" you learn how to track any object with a Dobsonian, it's half the fun and reason to buy this type of scope. At some point you'll be able to track satellites at high speed with no issue.
