Just received the 80mm OTA (+ tube rings) at work!
White OTA with gun metal grey mechanical parts (focuser etc), retractable dew shield - smooth. Bracket to add finderscope on focuser assembly.
Lots of outward travel on the R+P focuser, Multicoatings on lens look good too.
Yet to try it out visually.
I'll be using this as a guidescope for autoguiding, and it looks like it will do the job well. A nice solid little scope for under $200 I reckon (so far!!)
Cheers
Doug
