Anyone after an achromat should check out
AOE's current prices.
I was just browsing for a mount for my ED80 when I spotted the new specials on refractors. Ranging from 80mm on AZ3 for $249 to 102mm on EQ5 for $599.
I'm almost tempted to scrape together enough for yet another scope. Would the 4" f10 make a good planetary scope? I could also use the mount & tube rings with my ED80.
