II used this OTA for imaging at the full focal length for galaxies, however, I am more of an observed than a photographer. The OTA is in great shape, with just a couple of minor scratches on the tube. The mirrors and corrector are in excellent condition. New the VC200l is llisted for $2,699.95. There is a good YouTube video on the scope. Like a Celestron Edge it has a flat field. Unlike the Schmidt Cassegrains, the focuser does not move the mirro, so there is no image shift. It is lighter and cools down faster due to the tube not having the big corrector lens which allows it to be open. The downside of course are diffraction spikes on bright stars.
