[AZ-Observing] Steve's new scope (repost)

THX for posting some details on your new setup, Steve.  I am interested 
in knowing more about the 80mm scope.  (And the 6 inch refractor, AND 
the mount, as well.)  I saw Beevo's new Meade 80mm AP scope up at Stan 
Gorodenski's, and think I may try to get one, so I am interested in 
comparisons.  There seems to be a lot of new equipment in that size 
lately.  Also there has been ongoing discussion about the merits (or 
lack thereof) of the various Chinese scopes, APO vs. doublets, etc. etc. 
(Don't wanna get any arguments going here about all THAT!, haha)
I think the 80 mm size would make a nice portable scope (with an 
appropriate mount, of course) plus a good "piggyback" scope for photos 
and/or guiding of the main scope (10 inch LX200 in my case...)
Hope to hear more at the meeting on Friday....
Cheers,
Gene Lucas

Note:  I had to repost this one -- again -- da net nanny got me for 
forgetting to trim off Steve's original...darn!
