2023年8月26日 · A little AT80EDT test - posted in Refractors : A week ago I ordered an AT80EDT from Astronomics. When I got it and took it out of the box it seemed kind of heavy and well built for an inexpensive 80mm apo. The focuser seems to be pretty smooth, also. It isn’t quite as good as a Feather Touch focuser I had on another scope, but it is good enough that I don’t have any reason to upgrade it ...

2020年9月2日 · Thoughts on the Astro-Tech 80EDT? - posted in Beginning Deep Sky Imaging: Hi, Im looking to actually purchase my first personal astrophotography telescope (I have been borrowing one all this time). From my experience and knowledge I have learned the past year or two, I want a small refractor for my ZWO ASI1600mm. I have been debating back and forth between the Esprit 80, and the WO Cat scopes ...

2019年1月17日 · Thoughts on Astro-Tech AT80EDT f/6 - posted in Beginning Deep Sky Imaging: I have been imaging with my celestron Omni XLT 150 reflector and am looking to pick up a wider field scope as I keep running into issues where the targets I want to image dont fit in my field of view. I am strongly considering the Astro-Tech AT80EDT f/6 and I wanted to see what peoples thoughts are on this scope and if ...

2022年12月18日 · Page 1 of 2 - AT80EDT versus AT80EDL - posted in Refractors : Happy Holidays, all: Ive been kicking around the idea of getting a smaller 80mm refractor. I already have a Skywatcher ED100 that Im very fond of, but a smaller scope for both grab-and-go visual use and wider-field imaging sounds appealing. Having heard many good things about the Astro-Tech line, Ive been contemplating buying myself ...

2017年10月13日 · Astro-Tech AT80EDT - Any reviews? - posted in Refractors : I am looking for recent reviews of the AT80EDT but can not seem to find any. I did find one review here on CN from 2008, but that one looks like an older version of the f/7 AT80EDT. The current scope is listed as an f/6 scope and has a different finish and a few upgrades compared to the early version such as a finder shoe, tube rings ...

2023年6月3日 · Page 1 of 3 - Seeking Input: AT80ED vs. AT80EDT - posted in Refractors : I’ve had a Celestron Nexstar 8SE for a little over a year (and have loved it so far), but I was thinking about getting a small refractor with a shorter focal length to complement it. My goals for this refractor would be: - Be able to visually observe larger …

2023年8月19日 · Astrotech AT80EDT? - posted in Refractors : I am have been searching for a good 80mm scope for imaging. A lot of the higher end 80mm scopes are around 2000 dollars. The Astrotech AT80EDT is 800. That is a big price difference. You usually get what you pay for in this hobby with maybe a few exceptions. I have an old Orion ED80 that was only 400 dollars when I bought it. It does pretty well for ...

2016年10月13日 · WO GT81 vs. SV80ST-sv vs. AT80EDT - posted in Refractors : Hello and many thanks in advance! I am looking for opinions on WO GT81 vs. SV80ST-sv vs. AT80EDT for DSO. I am running a very good sample of an AVX (5-8 min guided subs) with an intention to upgrade my mount to a CGX in the future and likely incorporate CMOS/CCD cooled mono imaging later (running a modded Digic 6 Canon T6i now). These ...

2022年6月7日 · Page 1 of 5 - Astro Tech 80EDL or 80EDT? - posted in Refractors : Was wondering if anyone has experience between these two scopes. This is strictly for visual and Im trying to decide between the 2 of them. The EDL is an f/7 and the EDT is a triplet at f/6. The EDT triplet is surprisingly 2 lbs lighter and comes with a case. Focal lengths are 560 for EDL 480 for the EDT. I have a TV 3-6 zoom so ...

2009年2月27日 · Page 1 of 2 - AT80EDT (What glass?) - posted in Refractors : I just recently recieved an AT80EDT from a good online friend and was wondering:If the original AT80EDTA (like mine) make use of a glass equal to Ohara FPL-51, or does it utilize Ohara FSL-5 (equivalent to Schott FK-5)and Ohara NBM-51 (equivalent to Schott KzFSN4)?The scope performs fine and I like it, curiosity is getting the best ...
