I just purchased a used ST80. I'm considering either buying a AltAz mount (AZ-3?) or mounting it on a photo tripod. Since it has no mounting plate, I was...

... "Modification" isn't really the right word. You aren't so much modifying the scope as you are constructing a mounting bracket for it. Buy the rings from...

I have the Orion version of the same scope (same OTA, same mount, only the finder and finish are different). All that I did was to unscrew the base of the...

Thanks for the suggestion. I have a camera tripod and I was very excited about this prospect, but after getting the pan head off (which was not easy with my...
Three nights now I've been trying to spot M57 from my backyard, practically downtown, in light polluted Montreal. I've seen photos of the ring nebula from...
It is hard to spot--it least I haven't seen it yet with my 80f5. With my eight-inch Dob, it is easy. The problem is that it is really small, and at about 40X...
... I'm in suburban Ottawa, and I can spot M57, the Blue Snowball in Andromeda, and the Blinking Planetary in Cygnus from my location in my 80/f5. My skies are...
... I've seen it in an 80mmf6 scope from an area with a lot of skyglow to the west and south. Up near the zenith, it's still pretty dark, although I found it...
