Re: [APML] Orion Short Tube 80



Hi Frank,
              I have used the Orion Astroview 120 (also a short tube). Even with the minus violet filter, you will get some blue fringing around the brighter stars:

The 120 has a 2" focusor and I was getting some vignetting with it, but not too bad. I would expect (if the 80 has an 1 1/4" focusor) that it would be a liitle worse with the 80mm. Also be aware that I had to buy extension tubes with the 120 to meet the focus for the camera.
