Looks like the 80 is discontinued. Replaced by the F80M2? How does it go with a corrected image but right angle? Getting my head around looking at right angles while trying to point the scope is my main concern with a right angle finder.

At the moment I don't use the finder all that much as I have the CPC925 goto so once the mount is aligned electronically I am off for the night and I sometimes even remove the finder completely. But of late I have been pointing the scope manually with the hand controller more and more instead of using goto and obviously a cactus finder makes that a lot more difficult. I am also seriously looking at a wedge to use the scope in an EQ mode so that I can star hop and move it manually with the clutches undone for quick pointing, obviously loosing the goto facility in the process. Again, I am really going to need a working finder for that.
