Yes it is more expensive than the 80 on it's own, but this is an exceptional setup with the focuer and guiderings.
Paul, yes I agree, the advice her has been as good as I could have hoped for. And truly appreciated.

I had already looked at that scope you identified, but with my limited experience, I was not sure exactly what I was looking at! For example:
  • Is this the same as what I would be buying now?
  • What is a "traveller focus"? I understand the difference between R&P and Crawford, but this is new.
  • Why are Losmandy rings so special?
  • I have no idea what a reducer is or a compression ring!
Any enlightenment would be appreciated.
