Bought myself an ed80 earlier this year when I found some extra cash available ..unfortunately not long before it I had bought an skywatcher star travel 102 that is a great scope for visual observations but had a lot of ca when linked to a camera..so after reading reviews and checking prices I bought the pro version from first light optics who I have dealt with before and have an excellent staff and a great back up service...the scope comesin a aluminium case the dividers are a bit cheap n poor but adequate for job..the scope is heavy and robust feeling finger scope optics were good and the 2" 28mm lens great for viewing..the package contains all the adapters to fit a dslr cameras. First light..wow..brilliant scope the views are crisp and sharp..they recommend the flatner/reducer to go with it but its outside the budget just now..I found I didn't need it as a focal reducer I have works ok..fitting a cctv camera you may require an additional 70mm focal tube to focus..davy

Similar here, use mine probably 90% of the time.
Hard to beat for AstroVideo. Light, transportable, no C.A, wide field.

My most used scope as well - so versatile and now enhanced with an electro focuser!! - I only wish it had a rotatable focuser for ease of use on my equatorial mount!!
