several Borgs, the neatest and most underrated of all refractors. Where else can you get a 4" refractor that comes apart in sections and weighs less than a 60mm? Where else can you get a very good 5" ED refractor that weighs seven and a half pounds, comes apart and travels in a backpack, will mount on a cf tripod and costs about $4000 new?





Hi Dave,

I presume the above comment is all about the Borg? We bought (well, my wife gave me for Christmas) a 76ED for Christmas on the basis of your excellent review of this scope. I'm glad your view of these scopes hasn't changed with time. We used it as a travel scope out west earlier this year, and it gave us some great views of the heavens at the Grand Canyon at night!

Eric
