Default Orion 80mm ED--in my hands--tested!

Hi Doug,

Do try to test it with a heavy load behind if you have a chance. Does it
have a lock screw to "lock" the focuser? I am sure some will be thinking if
the focuser is heavy-duty enough to handle a camera and eyepiece behind.

Do give us more reports from time to time. I am keeping tab on this thread
every single moment.


I just hoisted a 31mm SchwarzeNagler in a 2" Tele Vue diagonal with
the scope vertical. This was with the same tension as the 1.25"
diagonal installed.
