Just one more thing Geoff, iv'e also heard that the Orion ED80 dose a good job with astro-photography, is that true as well, ah, all these questions.

thanks Leon
Hi Leon,

Tony is right with all that he said, and it does come with a very nice 1.25 adapter with compression ring. The WO diagonals are regarded as very good quality at a reasonable price, and certainly better than generic ones.

There is plenty of information on the net about the WO diagonals, and the quality of the ed80 for astrophotography work, so you dont have to take my word for it

Yes Leon, $710 will buy it if you are willing to pick it up. I made the comment about first preference to those able to pick it up so I could avoid the hassles of shipping, as I find it hard to get to a post office during business hours.
