8-6-2022 TSS Visual Report of the Day.

Observing with an ST80, & why I would want to"

Today's featured report is a southern hemisphere excursion from the dark skies of Australia courtesy of scribbly (Phil). Mainly, Phil was interested in assessing the pros and cons of the ST80 as a travel scope. After some bone-jarring driving which led to him to keep his bigger and more delicate scopes at home, he arrived at his destination and had a great session observing DSO's. One particular finding was that the supplied eyepieces were not quite up to snuff but that oculars costing up to 3x the price of the scope each did the trick. Thanks for the great report Phil and congratulations on winning the VROD for the day by the nomination of your peers here on TSS!
