Casual/ Recreational
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
A small scope that is very portable and easy to set up. Takes high magnification well. Has a well made focuser. Very precise. I used a 4mm Lanthanum eyepiece with no breakdown of images. I like this scope much better than my eight inch reflector. The 80 SF is well made. Vixen makes quality products.
