Default Orion 80mm ED should i buy?


Yes, go ahead and buy it, it supposed to be a fine scope and I am sure you

will
enjoy it. Its pretty hard to lose much money on one, new ones seem to go

for
not much less than used ones.


I agree. I own one, and take great pleasure with that "toy".
I look more often the sky with that small scope than with my 16" newtonian
on equatorial mount.
I feel a better contact with sky, especially with deep-sky objects.
Stars give a perfect Airy disc, color free.
Planets are vivid and crisp.
I am dreaming for a second one, and making an APO binocular!
