thanks for that INfo Dennis
, nice pic too. here are some of my own predictions. I predict that I will be using the Pentax k10D with the Meade Lx200R 10" and a celestron f6.3 focal reducer, and the Vixen R200SS with the Canon400D. Interestingly the ED80 and the Vixen almost have the same field of view, so the vixen wins out with a faster F ratio and resolution. I am looking forward to the results with the meade.
