Will check out the cloudy night website about the Siebert.
Hi,

The Pentax and Nagler will be far better but you will still pobably get coma at F4.5 on long FL ep's. You should definately try before you buy or you may be dissapointed. I know it is a lot of money, but you have a great scope that you spent over 2 grand on so why not consider a parracor to make it even better.
