I believe that the rotating focuser on the Meade doesn't work the same way as most scopes and might be rather irritating for imagers. Also, I've heard that there is some false colour, despite it being a triplet (a Sydney dealer told me this!)

I considered this scope about two years ago for visual use, but in the end I didn't think it was quite what I wanted. I went instead for the Megrez 90. Judging by the number of IIS members using the ED80 for imaging, I'm thinking that might be a better choice. You could probably get one second hand if you're lucky.
