Hi Frank,

I did use a ST80 (Celestron) for AP for a year or so and highly recommend the MV-1 if you go that route.  It served me pretty well until I could afford a TV85. 

Here are some examples (check the first for roll-off in the corners as an example of the vinetting.)

I need to go back and re-process these...

 

HTH,

Dave

Does anyone on the list use the Orion Short Tube 80 for AP?  Any problems with vignetting on a 35mm frame?  As an achromat would I need a minus violet filter for film?

 

TIA,  Frank
