I third the opinion above.
The ED80 is robust, light, has great quality optics, great at Astrophotography (short exposure without tracking, long exposure with), and very reasonably priced!
They are sold under several brand names: Skywatcher, Saxon, Orion, etc.
Andrews in Sydney has a special on at the moment including a tripod -
Saxon S-ED80 NEW! 80mm ED spotting scope with outstanding high grade optics, includes tripod $699.00

and lots of other Astronomy Shops sell them as just the Scope, or with tripods and EQ mounts..
