Mag 9.7, Donald. I would maybe consider taking the RRFT as long as it can go high enough to get a decent view of the nucleus. If this plume works out like...
I recently sold my Stowaway (f/5) and have a 80/480 on the way from APM. The Stowaway and Traveler cases make travel with these scopes so very nice having...
Stew- You may want to check out Tenba photographic cases. The small size of the 80 f/6 would probably fit well in one of them and there'd also be extra room...

I agree Tim. This sounds Great! I purchased a 130 F/6 which is a beautiful compact scope but now I am second guessing. That F/9.23 sounds fantastic. ...
Thomas - Certainly sounds as if you have a couple of winners on your hands! Congratulations. Do the sharp curves needed to make a 203 f7 imply thick glass and ...
