Stuart,

The VC200L and RS200S are completely different instruments and have 
different charcteristics. Those galaxy images would be harder to come by 
with the f/4 Newtonian than the f/9 Cassegrain. Then again, nebulas with 
wide fields might be better with the Newt. Get both !

Manfred,

Lovely images ! thanks for sharing.

Regards

Bill
