RASA 8

[Grierson]

A question for the experts on the forum. Apart from the cost are there any significant downsides when it comes to using this scope for deep field astrophotography? Thanks - John

I guess the downside would be limited to low magnification imaging only and that it's only for imaging, can't use it for observing.... unlike a 8" SCT, like a EdgeHD that come with a Fastar compatible secondary and can be converted to a RASA 8 like system, with the added bonus of being able to use it for observing also..... The price difference is negligible since it'll the same once you get the Hyperstar lens for the SCT.
