Suggested Modifications

IIS'ers,

I have recently purchased an ED80, and I was wondering if anyone has any suggested mods for this scope.

I know the focuser needs replacing or attention.

Daniel

Hi

I recently purchased a WO Synta/ Skywatcher focuser for my 120mm refractor apparently fits scopes from 3" to 6" the quality of this focuser is superb and I would highly recommend.

If you want further details I can send some photo's
