This time last year, I was imaging with my trusty Canon 6D on my Esprit 100. Nice flat field/round stats right across. The 80 doesn't claim to accomodate a full frame though.

It all depends on what FOV you want. There's always more than one way to skin a cat. Don't be afraid to experiment, after all, it's only money I've recently been experimenting with chasing galaxies and small objects with tiny pixels on my 550mm F/L scope, heresy to the traditionalists. The detail possible on a good night has astounded me.

The Esprits optically are hard to beat in their class. In fact, you can't amongst any of he other Chinese scopes.

And mechanically, after fiddling, that too is really good.

I notice no one has mentioned the Stellarvue SV70 T in this thread. Nice piece of kit, f4.8 336mm FL with reducer.
It's got a solid r&p focusser that holds up my QSI wsg8 at zenith with no slipping.
Nice imaging scope
