[NOT REQUIRED] 2" Diagonal

[picklesrules (Nicholas)]

Im after a 2' diagonal for my 80ed?
Anything available out there under $100 bucks?

[astroturf (Bryan)]

I sold my spare one with my ED80
But, you can buy a brand new one for $90.00 or $130 if you want a nice quartz one - from Andrews or bintel, etc

cheers

whats so good about quaterz?

[astroturf (Bryan)]

I had both quartz & standard & the quartz seemed sharper & had more contrast - minimally
the standard one was fine, I used it for ages, I don't think the difference is worth getting excited about unless you're using top shelf gear in perfect conditions

The Televue Everbrite is pyrex, if that is any indication.

I've got a 3-4 year old Orion 2"/1.25" , CR type you can have for $50+post. Optically its fine, no scratches, a little dust, but the black anodizing on the 2" eyepiece holder has "disappeared" and its now silver(??)
PM if interested.
