Default Orion 80 mm ED Apo via Zeiss Telementor 63/840

What I found is far away from the Top Notch douplet ED Apos , like Tele
Vue 76 or Tele Vue 85 .

Markus:

Interesting. Obviously you have looked through a great many scopes, you bring
some real experience to the table.

If I remember correctly, Ed Ting said that he found the ED80 comparable to the
TV76 up to about 200X and that at 250X the ED80 showed some color whereas the
TV76 did not.

Reviews I have read all state that the color correction is significantly better
than a Pronto.

Would you agree with this?

Also, some folks have suggested that the initial batch would turn out to be the
best ones and once the reputation had been established, the quality would drop.
That seems possible though not likely.

Markus,

Thanks for the review.

Maybe Orion can return the favor and post a review of some of your products.

Clear skies,

Tom

Hi Everybody

Today I received my first 3 samples Orion 80 mm ED Apos and could
already test them. I would like to receive some feedback from customers
who already owns it.
In almost any review I know of today about the Orion 80 mm ED I read its
colorfree and of high optical quality.

I dont know the telescopes the owners have reported about, I dont know
if something changed in the design and quality now where the production
seems to run, but here is what I found.

You do know that Markus carries Skywatcher (Synta) stuff? I believe these
scopes are scopes he received from Synta to sell. Kind of puts a different
spin on his evalutation....
