OK,
you have definately got me interested in the PRO-ED series, but I cannot seem to find any astro shots on the web with these little guys.

I kind of understand what you mean about focal ratio, but thought those Cassegrain Telescopes I mentioned were good enough, but bugger having to track that long. I guess I have seen more and more pics and articles on people using those little ED refractors for astro, BUT seriously! can you take decent DSO shots with such a small aperature?

Does the fluride tech in those lense's really outweigh apperature??? Dont get me wrong they look like a really great scope and all...It's just when I pictured my self moving on from my plastic 60mm tasco, I kind of pictured it differently LOL....

Seriously...I am interested...I was thinking mabey the PRO-ED 100 OTA @

However the F-ratio seems a lot more than the 80mm version comming in @ F-9, or is that fast enough?

Sorry, still learning
