I'm still in testing mode with the ED100. The end goal is to get a focal reducer for it to take it down to around F7 at which time it will be one of my main imaging scopes. I'm also really enjoying the scope for visual use. The contrasty field makes spotting comets amazingly easy. It's a Jack of all trades scope, but so easy to use which is why I like it.

If you take a look at Justin's images, I think we all agree that his setup works 80% as well as gear that is ten times the price. The 8" F4 astrograph if combined with a modified DSLR and cooler box is a killer combination and Justin does this with a standard Canon 1100D DSLR, a tribute to his processing skills.

Fast Newts all make great imaging scopes for DSO's with DSLR's or CCD's.
