Refractor (first experience..)

Hello,

I have been playing around with my first Refractor ( ad WO 80mm ZenithStar) and I cannot believe the pinpoint views of the starts. I ahve it mounted on the back of a Celestron 8" Ultima, and the Ultima pales in comparison. now I have a 2" WO Diagonal on the WO, and an old original equipment celestron 1.25 Diagonal.

It also may need some collimation (never has been done, and i have owned it for almost 19 years). It has had some travel time also, been moved across country etc.

So the question is, can teh SCT have a good image, or certainly close to the WO Refractor. Reason I am asking is that I am considering now selling my SCT to buy a bigger refractor.

Thanks,
Chris
