As Dr Paul said, both are very nice Brett....

I would say I would agree with the observation on the VC200L, it seems to be in the "zone" for the 10 min exposure, but there is more light gathering area over the refractor, so its pretty much on the money for the sub length.

The Refractor's wider field reminds me of my F5 Reflector's field of view and overall composition feel as I looked at it and thought it's colours and stars reminded me of the few short pics I have taken (stacked of course).

I think if the refractor had a few 10 min subs stacked up, the result would probably knock the VC off for wow factor, but as you said, its interesting to see the same object identically captured in two very different scopes to see the difference.

If I was to pick which one of those two I preferred, the narrow field wins in a direct shoot out.

Thanks for posting, quite interesting to ponder these.

Cheers

Chris
