thanks for the recommendations but im interested in getting a scope for astrophotography, and i would rather stick with scopes that are known to be able to perform. color correction for triplets are also significantly better than any doublets as far as i know, even a takahashi flourite doublet cant ...

im aware of that, which is why im looking for triplets. most reviews seem to rank the stellarvue scopes above WO. acessories for stellarvue scopes are also alot less expensive compared to similar apeture takahashi socpes or other brands.

i see, thanks for the advice.

currently more interested in the SV scope as it seems to produce better images. i have access to a Megrez 80, which was pretty good for visual but not quite for imaging. SV also seems to be the only 90mm triplet avaliable other than than the TMB 92ss if im not mistaken.
