Astro-Tech AT80ED 3.1" f/7 ED Refractor OTA

Gee . . . . I don't know!

They ask me to write a review . . . . OK. BUT since I got this telescope, the weather has not given me a single clear night! It is winter. BUT telescope looks & feels awesome! I do love everything about it - Just need to get it out of our living room!

Awesome stuff. You could never buy this quality at this price even 10 years ago.

I've had my little AT80ED for a little while now, and I'm extremely pleased with it. I use it for bright DSOs, double stars, and a lot of white light solar observing with a Herschel Wedge. It puts up nearly perfect views with no false color on the brightest of objects and splitting Rayleigh doubles when the seeing permits. Mechanically it's phenomenal. I wish all my scopes had this same focuser. I'm considering selling my 4" refractor in order to replace it with an Astro-tech 4"-5", because I love my AT80ED so much.
