Mark,
The ST80 is a nice wide field star/neb scope, but forget it on Moon & planets. I manily use it as a guide scope.
I reckon it's pretty good value for US$100. Got it 2nd hand off Astromart.
Still on the SP mount, it's a great 2nd scope when showing people the sky. At low power it's blows first timers away! Especially on open clusters & the like.
Cheers
