I do believe I may be heading for a refractive scope but is the ED80 good enough? I have heard of some scopes being APO's and some triplets and would like to know what is the generally accepted best one of those in my price range for what I want to image

Hi Matt,
Doublets like ED80 give good results and are proven performers. Triplets are great, but is heavier and pricier. Like everything, you get what you pay for. Reflectors have faster ratios, but tends to be less contrasty than refactors. They are very general comments, best to "try before you buy".
