Exp Sci ED80 Apo Goes On AZ4!


Recommended Posts

This fine little ‘scope has a fixed dovetail bar, so only goes easily on a saddle to its left or below.  So it’s OK on the Skytee II and Celestron GoTo, but for quick and easy use on the AZ4 (saddle to the right) it ends up with the RDF too low.  (I even pranged my knee getting behind it the other evening!)

This issue was raised on SGL the other day, and Mike @mikeDnight suggested an L-bracket would solve the problem by enabling the ‘scope to go on the top of it.  Not only that, he kindly offered to send me a bracket which was surplus to his requirements.  Thanks a lot Mike, I owe you one!

Now I can use it as a grab’n’go RFT, all set up in the shed, ready for convenient use, so I’ll be using it more often.  Yet another benefit of SGL membership, fabulous!

Doug.
