Thanks for that. So really it is a case of you get what you pay for in this area. If I can afford the Pentax then I should definately get it because it will give me the best view of the planets. From reading I also understand it is an all round winner. I also like the fact that these EPs have come down a lot in price (like 50%) since the posts a few years ago that I have been reading.
The same could be said for the Hyperion I guess and that is what Varangian has found in his experience.
As a final question will my GSO 2.5x Barlow significantly degrade the image in the Pentax?
