If you already have this scope by all means use it. You may find ip produces a lot of chromatic aberation on bright stars or the moon etc but will not resolve colour as well as an APO or semi APO scope. If you are going out to purchase this scope you would be better to wait a while until you can afford one of the ED refractors. An ED80 is probably one of the most under rated wide field scopes available at a very reasonable price. You could do a whole lot worse than an ED80.
