I have the SW 150P DS but.......

[VikN46]

Hi,  as the title says I already have the 150P DS, been given the go ahead by the hubby to get the SW 80ED pro ( and focal reducer/flattener). My question would be:

1. would it be a nice compliment to my 150P DS?

2. Worth having as an additional scope?

3. Is it worth it?

Prime use would be to image. Any thoughts???

Thanks in advance

I just wonder if the scopes are too similar ie they both have very similar focal lengths the ED80 might be easier to configure and guide than the newt but dont know if thats enough.

Hi

Being another 150pds owner I'd say I wouldn't now bother getting another scope with a shorter focal length and smaller aperture (I have an ST-80 which I might use as a guide scope one day). The opposite, perhaps! I always want to image things which are more distant! But it depends on what you might want to use it for? It'd be easier to transport. The ED-80 is certainly highly regarded but I can't quite see any advantage in getting one if you are happy with the 150pds? Unless you hate diffraction spikes??

Just my opinion!
