Mewlon 210 or a pimped up vixen VMC260ML?
A question i never thought I would ask...
I want to image PN's and Galaxies. Am covered with wide field and mid with a couple of fracs but Sagittarius is wandering off and am keen to image more the just the poster boys, but I can't go the 6" frac route just now so dipping toes in this space.
The challenge is that the specs in the vixen appeal and with a reducer it appears to be flexible but I keep reading about the upgrades needed, (focuser, visual back, etc) but the mewlon on ccd calc is comparable but a slower scope with not much in the way of upgrades via reducers available.
Am in very light polluted burbs, I image with a 60da (no plans to change just yet) and use Ha a lot as a blend to get detail. Über fast scopes for rgb therefore are pretty pointless.
Mount is not an issue (ap900)..
The obvious alternative might be Unipols cn210...?
Guidance? Thoughts ?
Interested in experiences.
