Unboxing the ASTRO-TECH 80mm EDT

[@gopinathnair9716]

Thanks for the great unboxing video. Under comments you mentioned parting away with this scope. Is it because it was not good and second how did the pictures turn out ? Thanks again and enjoyed watching your video

Interesting video. An 80 mm APO costs just as much as a Bresser 127/1200 mm f9.4 achromat (475$) and more than a Bresser 102/1000 mm f9.8 (350$). I wonder which one is overall better for normal use (not for astrophotography). I guess the 127/1200 mm achromat schould be better since the difference in aperture is so big. I would really apreciate your opinion on this :). Thank you!

New scope?!?! NICE!very nice looking scope, great unboxing. CS

[@midwest_astro]

Yes, thanks. It was but I already parted ways with it. I took the month of December off from Astrophotography so i'm getting back into it and will make a video showing why I sent it back here hopefully soon.

The case is nice for shipping, but... The scope isn't going to fit in there once you start bolting accessories on, and who wants to completely disassemble and reassemble the imaging assembly every time you use it.

LOL, I love your map and telling off FedEx LMAO

I didn't want to do it BUT they took better care of boxes in Cast Away than they did the telescope haha

FedEx is horrible, all my boxes come like that from them, the latest disaster a $2,700 guitar. I've had better luck with UPS the last few years. Good thing it wasn't an AT 80 EDL or 80 ED, no case for those FedEx would have mangled em.
