Hi all! I am considering the 80/9D package or the Orion SVP ED80. I am leaning toward the SV for the slightly longer focal length and from what I have read of...

Nice setup, Antonio! The photo turned out well also. I hope to do some solar stuff later this year with my ToUCam Pro once the weather gets better ;-) Darren. ...
