What's 'superficial' I say, sexiest scopes arround - see attached pic
Back into context;
I have had the Saxon ED80, Megrez 88FD, Skywatcher BD ED100 and a York ED80.
All were very comparable, if I had to rank them for visual and colour I
would go York ED80, Megrez 88 and then the other two.
The WO 2" Two Speed Crayford focusser were the best, the focal length not ideal for visual but still ok.
The Saxons focusser was really crap - that's why it went.
The skywatcher (being 100mm) was the brightest, ok focusser, but to heavy for my intended dual rolls - both guider and portable scope.
The York ED80 (the only one I still have), it is a re-badged ???, but the optics are surprisingly good.
