thanks guys i am a member of a club that has a 16" reflector but have never looked through a refractor. ALL of the images here seem to come from refractors ED 80's or TAK's so i believed that they were the norm for "fuzzies". cost is an option to a small extent but i would rather spend $2500 on the correct thing than $5000 and finding out that it was wrong and having to do the job twice. i have no interest in selling my trusty SCT as we go bush lots and the SCT is unbeatable as far as transportability for aperture (photon collecting) is concerned. just never looked through a refractor. i know i am never going to see the wonderful colours of Carina or Orion with my eye, however i would like to see Centarus A bigger than a smear of monochrome in my 4mm ep
