but the design must have altered.....so one type must be in some way better or worse than the other? i am a great believer that quality used to be more...
... It was altered but possibly the only change was the position of the field stop in the barrel. Also the new eyepieces sport rubber eye cups and grip rings...

I am wondering how good are those Sirius Plossl eyepieces that come with Orion telescopes. Are they adequate, especially with the 80f5? Is upgrading these...
... I have several Sirius Plossl's that work well in my 80f5. The only people that will find any fault with the Sirius Plossls are the people that have high...

I've been enjoying my 80/f5 for about a year now. I recently purchased Orion's Astroview 100/f6 and posted a pic of the two scopes together so you can get an...

... I was aware that Al had optimized the original 1880 Plossl design but I was unaware that other Plossl designs hadn't copied him. It is an interesting story...
I use my 80mm scope mostly for day time use but the other night I aimed it at the Orion constellation. I could clearly see the nebula using my 15mm plossl. I...
