Given the choice.......

Looking for opinions.

Lets say you have a 20d Canon and have a choice of one of these three scopes for imaging. Which would you choose and why?

Televue 101 (Not an NP)
Televue 102 (no focal reducer)
Orion EON 120

The TV101 without question. It has the wider field you will need and flat edge to edge. It is a true APO and that is really good. The build is excellent and can handle the camera.
I have a TV102 and it does pretty nicely, but still a little blue around bright stars, but that is easy to remove. However the focal ration even with the reducer will not give you the large field that you need with the 20D Canon.
The EON120 will not be as nice as the TV101 in my opinion.

Forget the telescopes! 8O

The real question should be which camera! The new Canon 5D has a 21.1 mp full size chip, ISOs to 25,600 with good noise (who needs to mod the IR filter with this type of response?), HD tv video capture (stereo mike input for sound), unlimited 4 frames per sec jpg capture, live-view for focus, and 14-bit raw files.
