Anyone had a chance to own/use this 8" Mak-Newt from Orion?
What are the pros/cons of the scope?
It has the same CO-33% than my C-11!

Really defeats the purpose of a Mak-Newt which had as a selling point a smaller secondary by percentage than a Mak-Cass or SCT. There is ZERO reason to buy it over an Mak-Cass or SCT.

What i read, reason for the larger CO is for photography. Before with the 19% CO was more difficult to do photo, unless the camera/imager had a small CCD.
