My new Svbony ED80 just arrived and I was able to get it balanced tonight. Hopefully tomorrow will bring clear skies (forecast is promising!) and I will be able to test it out.
For some context, my only telescope prior to this has been my ST80. Compared to the Svbony it feels like a toy. This telescope is DENSE and feels incredibly well made. I am super excited to try out the 2” dual speed focuser! Also, the dew shield doesn’t just fall off! This may not be the best 80mm refractor in the world but I have a feeling it will be a HUGE upgrade for me. Keep an eye out for first light in the next few days!
