SCT v Newt Swane, That might get the posts flowing....(Newts are better).
They both have their faults and advantages.
SCTs are more compact but you lose some light because of the extra reflective surfaces and their more expensive.
Newts have diffraction spikes because of the spider vanes.Their tubes are larger.
SCTs can be mounted easier because of their size.
A refractor might be more suited for your intended use though.
