Unfortunately, very recently the price of the 102 f7 and 80mm f7 have increased by £100. ☹️

At £495 I felt the 102ED was a huge bargain. It's set up now waiting for this evening's Io shadow transit.

The 102ED f11 has dropped in price a touch though and reviews have been good.

Nice option thank you both, I will give this serious consideration

I have a vision of a 80mm ED refractor in a case as a manageable travel scope.

Follow that vision
