This is a very versatile scope. Portable also. portability is very important. You can have a 10" but you hardly set it up. If you ask around, the most used scopes is 80mm apo or 100mm apo. And this will be the scope that you will bring to the dark skies, eclipse trips.

Lots of accessories are available for this scope. SCT users can mount it on their SCT for guided photography. Some people actually went to make 0.8x focal reducers for it. The best part is the price. Its cheaper than ZS 80 II scope which uses a slightly inferior glass FPL-51. So this 80mm scope will give you better colour corrected views.

Hey, Arief, don't spoil the market like this

Extremely good price for the scope. If I didn't have my Celestron ED80 already, I would trade my 350D for your scope.

BTW, if you do eventually keep your scope, you should upgrade the focuser to the GSO 10:1 refractor focuser. I upgraded mine with absolutely no regrets. Focusing is now super-smooth, which is important for astro-photography.

kayheem, if trade with your 350D, you can make an APO binoscope for your next ATM project
