Heads Up - the new Skywatcher ED - looks promising !!

I spotted this on Astro Buy & Sell - wonder what the UK price will be and when they will be over here ?

If the optics are as good as the old ED80 and the build as good as William Optics these look a little bit tempting

Looking at the ad again it's a bit confusing - starts off by saying that it's the same optics as the current ED PRO scopes but the specs at the end are more like current William Optics scopes - wonder if these are from the same factory that makes WO, Revelation, Scopos etc ?.

That thing looks like a Scopos to me - like many others.

I suppose you can't blame Skywatcher jumping on this particular bandwagon but I was hoping that the new ED scopes might be a bit different. Maybe this is just an interim model.

Spose not John. Think I'll wait till they come out over here and then get an old 2nd hand bluey
