My 8" F4 finaly got here a few weeks ago. This is a GREAT scope!!!!!!!

Been imaging at F2 with amazing results. I added the Mintron\F1.8 combo to the other side of my EZT. This gives WWWWWWIDE views of the sky with a nearly 4" aperture.

The camera needed the 2" to 1.25" adapter recessed machined to get it to focus and still used the supplied 35mm extension that came with the scope. This kept the focuser at mid travel.
