Hi Vars,Just use them in our backyard for Planets and other brighter targets such as Fornax and Orion etc. Superb optics. I prefer the 66ED as I feel it is a little more contrasty than the 80ED. They are both weighty though. The 66 OTA w/ a 1.25 diag and Ep weighs in at 2kg's. The 80 is mounted on an EQ5 because it needs it. It is very substantial.If weight is an issue have you tried Hutech? They seem a little fragile to me, but the versatility seems fantastic and could fit the bill.The WO's are heirloom quality and are quite cheap at the moment. Have you seen the Petzval for $400 AUD? What a bargain.If you have any question please do not hesitate to post.Cheers,Stellarquest
