Had a quick look tonight...
First impressions - a bit rough!!
Obvious CA around Jupiter as expected, seaguls at edge of field with a 15mm GSO SuperView as expected!!
Might be good as a widefield scope for scanning Milky Way at low power. But pushing magnification up to 120x showed up its weaknesses.
Note: focuser is 1.25" so no 2" EPs on this scope!!
Should work fine as a guide scope I hope.
If you can, try and get an ED80 as a grab and go - the difference between these 2 80mm scopes is marked.
Cheers
Doug
