Here is the place to talk about all those equipment(Telescope, Mounts, Eyepieces, etc...) you have. Not sure which scope/eyepiece is best for you? Trash it out here!

My tmb 80/600 got the aluminium tube and FT focuser. Optically it is very good and outperforms any other 3 inch APOs I've seen through.

I dunno...
I'd rather spend a little more and get the Stellarvue SV80S. With all the controversy surrounding TMB, I'm alittle scared buying from them.
With Stellarvue I'm confident of the product I'll get from them.

It is between APM and TMB regarding the original TMB scopes as well as the TMB planetary eps.
Overall, not a good state of affairs for the brand. Unfortunate since it seems like a good product and Mr. Back is a great person.
