HI,

actually it depends on your needs. cheaper stuff may mean less bite....

anyway why don't you consider the new Vixen A80SS short tube? Please see links below. sure looks pretty interesting at very low budget.

allan,
from the looks of things, you have only 2 choices.
a second hand ETX90 or C90 OTA with no tripod OR if you are lucky and willing to pay abit more, can hunt for a ex-stock ETX90RA in the US. With shipping, they can be bought around $500+ if you can still find them.

I wrote to Jim asking for test sample of the Vixen shortube.

If it is good, 650 bucks is a good price...

Have not heard from him yet, but if he is confident of his product, I am sure he will let me test.

Vixen short tube (achro) 80 f/5 is a nice light grab and go scope.. I used to have an older version which I sold recently to make way for wider aperture 100-120mm f/5-f/6 scope.. if you can get it at 500, its worth it..
