I have a TAK 60 riding my Forfax, so as to keep my Perseus on equal footing I went and ordered on of the few remaining SV 80 Lomo scopes. Just waiting for the focuser to come in from FT and then it gets shipped. What a powerhouse of scopes I seem to have collected!

I had but sold a 80mm F6 Stellarvue Lomo Triplet. Ludes says it's the best optics ever produced in it's class. It was the metallic blue with a Feathertouch focuser. Gave the cleanest and sharpest view of the moon I've ever seen. In very dark skies one windy night in the Florida Keys I followed a 16" dob around to several targets. I could see every object he did except obviously in much fainter detail. The reason I sold the scope was I just couldn't find a place for it. It would have made a good imaging scope for my DSLR. It was a great grab and go mounted on a small Celestron CG5. The small aperture was a limiting factor. Too small to bring in DSO and too short a focal length for planets. However, the guy that bought it loves it and uses it all the time. He takes it with him when he travels.
