On a more serious note, I can vouch for the usefullness of an 8" SW + MPCC for everything except medium to widefield astrophotography. Not qualified to pass any judgement on the refractor in question though.
Rob, yep, there's been a lot of positive comment about a newt with an mpcc as being a very cost effective approach.

Cost is one of my main considerations, as I'm not that good a photographer, so seems silly to spend a lot just so I can make poorly-framed, out of focus shots of M42.....If I find my skills markedly improve, I can still then sell the newt and upgrade.
