Hi Mike,
I have a fork-mounted Meade LX90 8″ which I set up from scratch every session. I use it in Alt-Az mode (not mounted on a wedge) which means it takes just 20 minutes to set up and 2-star align to give perfect pointing accuracy. Like you I have a Meade DSI II colour camera with which I have done all the astrophotography you can see on my Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/hugh.astrophotography/photos_albums So a lot can be achieved using the easiest set-up.
Cheers
Hugh
