Question: Orion 80 mm ED

Posted By Marc DiMarco

Just something interesting I found:
Orion 80ED uses FPL-53 glass for the ED objective, which is the same glass used in Astro-Physics Scopes. Interesting.

Ahh, I called my friend and he said it was the international space station. He looked it up and its about 230 miles up right now. I was hoping for a nova, hehe oh well.

Compare: Wo Megrez type II 80 vs Orion ED 80

Posted By Marc DiMarco

I haven't yet tried the Megerez, but I have the ED 80 and can tell you that thier is absolutely zero false color on anything I have seen yet. The moon is crisp and white. Cassini division is visible at about 120x and up, and is crystal clear even at 200x (highest power I have). If you can get your hands on one I think it would beat any other scope in its class.
