Mine works well
And yes an ed80 can handle a 5mm
I have used a 3mm in mine but (a big BUT) only in very steady conditions 5-6mm easy and work well

Thanks David
Yes I only have single speed focuser. Does the dual also have better control over creep with the weight of a camera attached?

Since this is my first scope and my baseline for good is the eyepieces that came with. Which I think give very sharp clear images. What brand eyepieces would be normal to purchase for a scope such as my Skywatcher?
I'll check out the local stores tomorrow and see what I can find.
Thanks Daniel
I am impressed I must say with the clarity of images I see. So far though my views have only been of the Sun and Moon.
Cheers
