Hi Anders,

Sincerely, I think the New WO Megrez 80 II will be better. I am very interesting too by this small refractor for my large widefield CCD images.

But for my goal, I will purchase the Megrez 80 II in its Triplet APO version (about $1,600).

My advice is Go for the Megrez 80 II.

Regards,

Florent

Hi Anders,


I think the Orion 80ED Doublet APO Optics will be better that the Megrez/Megrez II Doublet semi-APO.

But don't forget the Megrez 80 II will be sold too in Triplet APO version and it should be an outstanding package, but more expensive.

Regards,

Florent

Hi Jason,

To me the best focusing technique is the Diffraction Method. You make a cross you install in front of your OTA. All my images have been taken with this method.

You can see my web page about that at :

and my pictures on the main address below.

Best Regards,

Florent
