Hi All,
MIKE,
Thanks for your post,it seems the 80mm on an ALT AZ mount is indeed the way to go for a lightweight portable setup,which is exactly what I need.
Thanks for the advice.
DAN,
I read your very nice report on the Megrez 80,and must admit I too was a little surprised at the image going soft at 155x,from all accounts and reviews I have read these little 80mm scopes go way beyond that level,when the seeing permits.
Thanks for your kind offer re any questions,I will keep you in mind in the future,I think I will give lee a call and grab one of these scopes while I can.he has them listed in the latest Australian Sky and Telescope mag at $599.00,I think at that price its well worth going for.
Thanks again for everybody,s help and advice.
Regards.John
