These are to 80mm refracting telescopes. Does anyone know anyone with them or who has used them before? They are from
AOE telescope-binoculars-optics. (Aquila optical and electronics).

Here is the email they sent me about my enquiry "Hello,

Thank you for your enquiry and interest in AOE. We are pleased to provide you a price for the AOE80L. We have attached an image of the AOE80L as the one on our website does no truly represent what we are currently supplying, we will be updating our website details in the coming weeks. The AOE80L is an 80mm F=900mm achromatic refractor. It uses a high quality fully multicoated objective lens. It is mounted on an EQ3 with Aluminium tripod and accessory tray. The whole setup is very sturdy and provides extremely stable views unlike 80mm telescopes supplied on smaller mounts. Standard accessories are a large 6x35 finderscope, 3 high quality Plossl eyepieces and a star diagonal. It is a very nice instrument which does allow excellent observations.

This whole setup is $399.00 plus delivery. We hope you find this is a good price for a high quality 80mm refractor. I have also attached an image of our new AOE80S it is the same price but is more intended for terrestrial observations in mind with an F=600 and AZ mount.

We hope we may have helped a little and we look forward to hearing from you again soon.

Thanks again for your enquiry."

Im not sure what to do. I want to view planets with crisp images and like the portability of the refractor. Please help. Im so desperate here!!!

Thanks so much. James.

The 80L is longer. The tripods look the same as this dodgy one i bought for 200 bucks from dick smith. Exactly the same, so im wondering if they came out of the same manufacturer.

Hmmmm.

Let me know.
