[...] truely amazing work of art. Well constructed, right up to the finder scope and heavy duty carring case. Porta-mount is very stable, and the slow motion controls are great, although I have since ordered the flexible contol arms and am anxiously awaiting thier shipment. I must confess that I am using this scope more for celestrial viewing, and has awakened an astrology interest in me. [...] I had ordered the Zhumell 1.25 inch eyepiece and filter kit with the telescope order, so there was no delay in using the scope the first night. Views of the moon and other planets are truely amazing from this Vixen 80. The flip mirror included is of good quality, and the wife likes to be able to look at her terrestrial objects in the "up-right" position.

I would recommend this scope and mount to anyone for their first Apo telescope. it is light weight even with the Porta mount, makes a Great Go-Scope..Plus it comes with a really nice hard case, with room for the Telescope, the flip-mirror dia. and even the finder scope. all this is included in the package, making it a Great deal.. <a href="http://www.buzzillions.com/reviews/vixen-optics-ed80sf-refractor-telescope-porta-mount-reviews#bz-model-review-959796">Read more</a> </p>
