    My first image published with this scope, a Vixen VMC200L. I put this scope on my mount as an experiment to see how imaging at a longer focal length would work. I was surprised at the results so I decided to go ahead and work with this scope for a while.

    The stars certainly are not perfect in the corners. Also brighter stars seem to have a bit of a square square shape to them, I'm guessing this is due to the large secondary/and or thick secondary supports. However I'm overall happy with this telescope, especially for the price I got it for. Optically it is quite good.
