These little 80mm scopes are very good as a prime lens. A friend took some bird shots with his SW80ED and they were excellent results. And not to heavy to set up and use either.
I do find the ST80 a very convenient size, I do enjoy tinkering to make something average special.

I'm looking forward to experimenting more with he scope haven't tried a prime focus as yet. I am getting a fair bit of coma through the eyepiece had to trim the edges on all the shots. I am finding the images a little soft and fuzzy probably due to camera being modified and little achromatic distortion.

All and all a nice day in nature..
