If the construction is anything like the one you showed us at the

first SP it will be a corker especialy with an APO lens.

Does this mean you are thinking of getting one for yourself

or just gonna borrow one for a while?

Jamie,

Yes, if the opportunity arises

I'd like to compare it with my Revelation 80.

Jamie, I have only 'borrowed' two Revelation products - a 10" Dob and the Revelation 80 - and bought them both

Steve, is it the same as the "upgrade kit" for the 80mms or different?

I don't know,

I only spotted it on the TelescopeHouse website this evening.

If I had to guess .... probably.

This one doesn't seem to have the same machining as the previous Revlation 80.

The Apograde version was F6.9 for the original and the focuser was a 1:10 reduction.

Maybe I am reading to much into the success of the original Revelation 80 :shock: :?
