New Vixen VMC260 open tube cassegrain OTA?

Hi All,

Well I dissappear for months and then turn up with dumb questions...

I just saw this OTA advertised in the latest S&T, had a quick search here but couldn't find any related threads - apologies if I've missed them and am rehashing this.

Of course my eye's lit up and wondered whether this might be a substitute for a Mewlon 250 at nearly half the price. It has a respectable F ration at 11.5 for planetary imaging, but wondered if the correction lenses would ruin it for this.

Anyone have one or and opinion on this for planetary imaging?

cheers,

Rob
