Hi Gang,
I,m expecting to recieve my ED 80 at the end of the week according to Orion.As I mentioned last fall I tried 2. The first just would not come to focus and the 2nd had a terribly squeaky focuser.Needless to say I soured on the scope but after reading multiple reviews and posts I ordered another with my fingers crossed.I thought the scope cosmetically looked very nice and if the optics and focuser are good on this one I,ll be a happy camper.With that said it will be a great bargain at even the new price.But with the weather being what it is now in Minnesota, I,ll probably get to try it out about May.
Dave
