I have talked with Carlos Santisteban about this issue. I will answer this
for him, until he hangs over here and make the corrections my answer may
deserve.

Carlos judges the 200/4 very up to astrophotography requirements mainly
because of its like of coma (comma - sp?) aberration.
Stars will show as a bright point instead of as a bright triangle, like when
using the 300/4.5

HTH,

Fernando.
