Hey all:
Thanks for the replys so far. I'm sort of looking for a middle scope between visual and photography, with a good bit on of portability. I would like this next scope to last me for a few years yet without to much needed to add. In other words, I want the moon
To my mind the C8 seems to sort of fit this bill. You mention problems imaging with the C8 and at high FL (focal lengths?). What are these problems?
(To all those who wish to come along for the ride: sure. you can pay for half the hire of the plane and meet me at Bankstown

)
Ta
Anthony
