Hello,

I am searching some opinion on the best Apo of 80mm(3"-3.5" also valid):

-Best contrast and sharpness.
-Best CA correction.
-Best portability.
-Best mechanic.

In accordance with your opinion, you think that this Apo is on top with difference of others Apos?

IMHO I believe the Stellarvue SV90t is probably the finest 90mm apo on the market right now. Dual speed feathertouch focuser, flourite lens,each one indivdually star tested,and to top it all off..... world class customer service. That would be my pick without hesitation

Best optics in an 80mm: LOMO 80mm 480 (I understand the 80/600 is also exceptional, but less portable)
Best optical tube for the above optics: A&M carbon tube w/ a Feathertouch focuser--just beautiful
