New imaging scope

Posted By Thomas V Davis

I can tell you that after owning and imaging with two MN (10" f/4 and 7"f/4) that they can be nice. The FOV is not as corrected as the documentation would have you believe, but for a small to moderate size chips it is quite excellent. You should be fine with the f/6 and your Meade Pro III camera. Make sure the collimation is absolutely dead on. F/6 will not be as critical but on the f/4 the stars rapidly elongate off center if collimation is off even a little. Mark is great to work with; he'll take care of you.
