Been awhile since I've used this one .... 80mm f/15 ... MoonLite Focuser
I'll get the Astro Chair out ... don't feel like standing up ...
Had clear nights for 4 days now ... fingers crossed.
I might put this up ' For Sale ' soon .... mulling over it at the moment. ..... another Triplet arriving shortly.

Lovely scope Col..should be able even to resolve a few close doubles with that ; and these smaller scopes show big fat airy disks .. brighter doubles can actually look really good in these, and even the Planets... Dawes is 120/80mm roughly, so 1.5"..good resolution indeed.
When you consider average seeing allows what, 2" to 3 "..these scopes can really shine...sometimes no need for that 8 in etc.. someone will enjoy it if you do.
