I want one of these!

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!

Why does the temptation keeps getting better and better?

It is tempting at the price of US$798!!! It must be the next generation of ED80.

Since we're on this topic of WO refractors ... Anyone knows the difference between the ZenithStar and Megrez line? Seems like they both have their own 80mm doublet and triplet APOs with a few diff models in each line. Any distinction between the 2?

IIRC the difference between Zenitstar and Megrez is in country of manufacture.

Cheers!
