Paul -

First one nice pic made with an ST80  on the astromart website:

Second - Link to Celestron 80ED website. It comes with a 45 deg. diagonal but is
discontinued so you have to look for a used on - (cheaper!!)  -

My best scope is a 76mm Oracle. But I don't keep it around where I live due to
humidity and mold problems. It is in an air-conditioned family home. Pity
because many interesting sites here in Brazil. Otherwise I'd be interested in
the Celestron 80ED myself.
