I am mainly interested for some planetary NGC nebulaes. WO 80ED performs perfect for wide field images, but it is not sufficient enough for those tiny diamonds. I am also doing some "research" on Orion 127mm Mak-Cass scope. Will decide soon whether C6 or Apex. Tuugii hey thanks for the response. I am mainly interested for some planetary NGC nebulaes.

Yes I think Celestron have made a great little scope with their 6inch SCT. Sometimes I think that a bit more focal length would be good but I don't think I'd swap it, in truth I'd want a C9.25 as well. I haven't done any scientific measurements on it but my gut feel is that its pretty good for the money. All that said I'm very much in love with the Canon lenses too - the L series APO is stunning but so it should be for considerably more outlay than the 6" SCT !!! I've heard really good things about the Williams Optics ED80, it should be really great for many nebulous objects. What sort of objects interest you Tuguldor? Clear Skies AnnMarie Thanks for the encouragement there.

I love them. In fact, how handy is that C6? I mean, how is it's performance? I have William Optics Zenithstar 80mm ED semi-apochromat refractor, although its quite fast, the field of view is too large, and the focal length is too short for my objects of interest. that is an amazing result! you images taken with that C6 is darn perfect!

Hope you get some good viewing so you can get even more detail. Nice – what a difference long exposure times make. Hope you get some good viewing so you can get even more detail.
