[分享] Orion80ED arrived.

各位同好DX:
My Orion 80ED镜 has arrived.
这个Orion 80ED镜几乎是所有这个级别的ED镜子中最便宜的($499)，而且做工也很好。
I checked the material first. The Glare shield, lens cell, tube etc are all made with aluminum or aluminum alloy. I thought its tube might be plastic. Pretty happy to see it's not.
Though not CNC machining, (which means not as good as Megrez80II's finishing), but in my opinion, it is quite acceptable. After all, optical quality is the primary concern!
The lens' coating showes a light green color.
I didn't order eyepieces. I am considerring... (小蔡的精华贴"...现在考虑目镜的配置..." is very helpful.)
Focusing is easy and good with a T-ring and my Canon camera.
Will take a couple of shooting to see the optical quality.

期待评测

我只能说严重羡慕。

带着赤道仪才$819/$868，干吗不买组合？仅仅一个好镜筒，肯定在国产的廉价赤道仪上不会有太好表现。

我的Megrez 80 APO也到了，明天去汇钱，休息天就能到了。

Could you see the roof top of the church?

Focus length: 600mm(x1.6)
Speed: 1/640
Manual mode (exposure +1)

Handy shoot with a little bit support.

How do you guys think about the quality?

Surf131,
I believe the 赤道仪(of $819 package) is a single-axis 赤道仪 , which is not going to satisfy my needs. I am actually looking for some better 赤道仪.
