Oh, I hear you Col!
My Vixen DED108SS is also a 4 element Petzval Nagler, with DOUBLE ED elements at the front. The visual through it is absolutely mind blowing, but of course it absolutely excels at photography.
My FL102S is currently in pure visual mode, but now I have my second CCD, and a seond Vixen mount, I am spoiled able to image with both, simultaneously
