The Megrez 88 is not a bad scope, however being both a doublet, with a very fast f/ ratio, it does not have the best colour correction around.. I am not sure of what is required to get a good image with the mallincam, but if its colour, the Megrez 88 might not be the best option.. It would still provide nice wide field views.. just might show blue/violet halos around brighter stars...

Have you considered the smaller scopes, like the WO Zenithstar 70ED, or the Zenithstar 66 SD? These scopes are very light weight, have nice optics, provide a wide field of view and are cheaper than the Megrez 88, Clearly, they have a smaller aperture... but with a mallincam, I dare say it wont make a lot of difference, you'll still get a great image out of the little baby-apo..
