However 700mm is a useful focal length for photographing the moon or a solar eclipse with say an APS-C or m4/3 camera body. |
True, a refractor is unlikely to be the scope of choice every night, but for quick and simple setup it's a wonderful change from the bigger scopes when the mood takes you.
Plus, I'm looking forward to seeing the entire Veil nebula at once with a 40mm Paragon
