Hi All,

I have an EQ6 mount and a Meade ED80. I have a televue 0.8 reducer but when i use this the result is a bit too wide field for my taste.

This scope will really only be for astro photography as i also have a C11.

Now i really like the idea of getting a televue scope and cant make up my mind between a TV85 or TV102. A TV101 or IS is right out of my price range. Both would be used with a reducer so i would still get F6.8 out of the 102 and about F6 out of the TV85.

I was happy with the meade image scale without the reducer but would like a bit bigger, the TV85 with a reducer would give a bit less image scale as the meade ed80 without and the 102 would give a bit more.

I would like to get both :), what do you guys think?

You might also want to consider the StellarVue SV90TBV (http://www.sdmtelescopes.com.au/shop/product_info.php?cPath=22&products_id=93) which is about the same price range as the TV85. It is an F7 90mm fluorite triplet APO with a feathertouch focuser.

I thought FS102's had been superceded?

I thhink I have my heart set on a televue. Tak would be nice but very very expensive.

if you want the televue , go the bigger scope.
