Revelation 80mm APO Doublet

I think the similar sized WO scope is now discontinued! There still available new from the smaller dealers but its only a semi-APO and i think its a 1.25" whereas the revelation is a 2"! Aswell the revelation has a microfocuser of ratio 1:11 which is preferable to the normal focuser on the WO scope! I'm buyingan lx90 GOTO tomorrow so maybe on the fork mount but i'm buyimg a wedge also! So what results would you expect with a semi-APO? I dunno! I want to get a Barlow anyway but i know that the more lens the light goes through the worse the result! I have a canon 300d and hope to purchase a toucam pro!
Thanks for the advice and please keep it coming!

Hi Matthew

Did you get a shipping price for that?
I was quoted more than £100 pounds for shipping a 10" dob and £20 for shipping a pair of binos. Therefore you could be paying €50 or more, on top of the price of approximately €530, at the current exchange rate, therefore your 80mm scope could cost close to €600, and that's before you buy a finderscope.

Give it careful consideration.

I have a 4" achromat celestron refractor and it does show the typical achro faint blue tinge on some objects. If you want un-abberated/minimal colour distortion, then it has to be a APO for a refractor.
A WO is a great choice.
The M31 image looks perfect, go for it !

As most of ye know i bought michael o connells 8" lx90 at the astro fest! so i wont be purchasing for a while! Have to save up the dosh! well i might as well list the equipment!
Meade 8" Lx90 GOTO

William optics 2" digitally enhanced Diagonal
Meade super plossls(40,32 +26mm)

I really want to thank micheal! he went through the workings of the telescope with me! Got it out tonight and viewed the moon but it totally clouded over!
Hopefully some clear weather tomorrow!
Thanks for the comments and advice guys!

I've used and seen through that scope Matthew, and its a grand scope. the optics are very good, wait until you see the planets

So its been in other great astronomers hands apart from my own! I cant WAIT
