Your "humble" Pentax is absolutely stunning. And it looks so perfect sitting on that beautiful NEQ6. Thanks for sharing.

I'm beginning to think I'm the only one with a ES ED80. I haven't seen one yet. I wanted the 127 but they don't make them anymore.

Aw, heck no...lots of us have them. I love mine for Grab-N-Go, AP, and wide field work alongside my longer focal length scopes. Here it is on an ADM dual saddle with my SW100ED...this combo is a lot of fun!

Star 12ED was my dream scope back in the early 90's. Sad they quit making those. Today, I have an f7.5 ED 120 that is probably very similar. It would be fun to put them side-by-side!

Not a completed refractor(s) yet - two TMB 12" f7.5 APO lens in cell for a private binocular project of my friend, received last month. Sad that Thomas Back designed it but pass away 4 years ago, and never see the real lens.
This air space triplet lens have 2 super ED element, and I am told that the color correction should be better than my TMB 8" f7 APO.
