Hi,
I have a C11, it is great for visual and easy to setup. I wouldnt dare image through it though.........until i learn a bit more about imaging with my Meade ED80. Once i do though I cant wait for that image scale, maybe i am wrong but a focal length of 2.8 meters even after a f6.3 reduction would make some mighty fine photos of galaxies and small nebula very interesting.
I got a second hand Lumicon giant easy guider and one day i will use it
