Hi Dave,
Hmmm, ED100 over ED80 - one reason of course!!! APERTURE!!!!
Everyone seems to have at least a 127mm refractor per se.
How about this one? Special package at Andrews...
NEW! 100ED 100mm f/9 ED Black Diamond refractor and
EQ5PRO SynScan equatorial mount (white). Complete package
$1899.00??
Maybe if I substituted the Pro ED100 (which is $100 cheaper) then it would be $1799.
Otherwise if I got an EQ5 Pro for $899 (11kg capacity) , I might then look around for a second hand ED scope in the $600-800 range. Keeps me within the $1500 area....
Damn, wish I was poor, its easier....
Cheers
Chris
