Newt vs RC

Hi Daniel

I own a 8" F/4 newtonian and the mpcc I use is a Baader coma corrector.
I get clean sharp images, so for value for money I am very pleased.
I do collimate the scope very time I use it and it only takes about 5 minutes. The scope holds it's collimation well. Another thing to consider is the Dew affecting the primary mirror, I think dew would be more of a problem with RC's compared to Newts.

Best regards Paul.
