Vixen 80 v Skywatcher 250

[johnb]

Last year I bought a Vixen 80MF refractor with the intention of converting it for a PST - anyway that never happend and to date i have never used the Vixen - would this scope be any good for imaging ?, I currenlty use my Skywatcher Explorer 250 OTA

and was wondering what differences i would get if i set up the Vixen , if i have lost the plot then thats fine - Just curious ?

I have an A80Mf (1.25" version).

Short answer - not DSOs, however you could image planets with a webcam but the aperture is going to limit resolution.

thought so (just needed to be told)
