Finished Rebuiding my Orion ED80 was created by woodwizard
Tube and dew shield painted epoxy gloss white (Krylon Spray)
Lens cell painted epoxy gloss black (Krylon Spray)
Added two additional baffles
Flocked the tube, dew shield and baffles (ProtoStar Flocking)
MoonLite Focuser - Dual speed rotating tri-knob
Parallax 4" Rings
Orion 7 x 50 Finderscope painted to match
Waiting on the AstroZap metal Lens Cap and Orion is sending
me some decals for the finishing touches.

Very enjoyable project :D



No reflections in the dew shield. Just a BLACK hole... :D
