Just my humble opinion.

If it was a bigger job, sort of like your 150 x 1200, I would certainly agree. It's just that it's so similar to the f5 Newt and really not that far above the Megrez. I have a couple of good TV Barlows for Megrez/Newt use. I'm also not that much into planetary photography, apart from Saturn and Jupiter, and for those, the C8 should do well.

Overall, I like the textures and pretty colours of the deep space stuff much more. 'Not that there's anything wrong with planetary...'

Sounds like I should add it to the for sale list when I get around to it. It would more than fund the cost of the Hyperstar for the C8.
