"Gaz" wrote in message ups.com... hi all, I'm looking for a small scope to use on the moon and planets, assuming cool down isn't a problem, has the refractor got anything to offer over the Mak-Cass? cheers gaz The Mak will provide more contrast and higher magnification than the 80mm ed you've mentioned. I own 3 refractors, a mak, and a 25" dobsonian. The mak is also by far a lot more portable because of size. Views of the planets have been excellent and I've pushed its magnification upwards using a 3.5mm eyepiece successfully. IMO the mak would be a better buy. Richard
