I've got a Sears 80mm f/15 that is superb in the daytime compared to all of my scopes except for my 10" dob, but my 10" dob beats it in all aspects at night (using the same eyepieces). I'm not trying to start a flame war here, I'm just curious as to what objects/uses you guys use your classics for. -------------------- Binos: Apogee 25x100 / Burgess Optical 25x100 / Pentax 20x60 PCF WP / Tasco InFocus 10x50 Tripods: Sunpak PlatinumPlus Ultra 7500TM / Quickset Samson Refractors: Meade DS-2102AT-TC 102mm f/7.8; Sears Discoverer 3 (4454) 80mm f/15; Jason 313 Discoverer 60mm f/15.2 Reflectors (Dob): Hardin Optical DSH10 10" f/5 EP's: Zoom: Zhumell 8-24mm & Circle K 7.5-22.5mm 0.965"; 9-52mm Plössls; Zhumell 2x barlow Kodak Z760; Orion SteadyPix camera mount Post Extras       Entire thread Subject Posted by Posted on What do you use your classic scope for? aa5te 07/02/09 12:12 PM Re: What do you use your classic scope for?
