Paul,
You might have already picked it up but I just thought I'd let you know that I saw a Catadioptric Group test in this months Sky at Night Magazine.

Hi there,
You might want to consider the Tak equivalent, it is a good deal more expensive, but any online reviews I have looked at place it in the 'apo killer' class. Superlative optics although the focal length is long. It is not an astrograph, but for visual, it is a compelling offering..... remember half the fun is the chase!!!! Enjoy it!!
