I owned a Vixen NA130SS for some time before I swapped it for an MX916 camera. This 'scope is excellent. Less colour than a similar sized acro. 5 stars int the trapezium (never saw 6 stars), split alpha-geminorum with ease. Double-Double in Lyra - clear split. Split Antares once.

On planets - as my school reports said "could do better".

Beautiful flat field - perfect wide field 'scope.

Holds magnification to x360.

Chromatic aberration shows when viering the moon - dark purple shadows. An APO shows black shadows.
