So happy right now! Managed to get hold of a TS-Optics 80mm f/6 triplet APO with a lot of accessories for a REALLY good price (used). Can´t wait to try it out. I´ve had my eye on one of these for a while now and when I saw it for sale I smashed that "buy" button
The funny thing is that I even made him lower his price (by accident, didn´t mean to), when it was a bargain price to begin with! Without going into exact numbers I got the package for 40% of the retail price and it´s in really good condition (about 3 years old).
Now I´ll just have to wait for some clear skies to see if it works
Congratulations Martin, the Photo Line triplets are very nice.

Good for you! Hope you get to try it soon. Let us know?
So, I´ve tried it now It seems to be performing well, but I still have some fine tuning to do regarding spacing. At least I managed to catch some O3-data with it a few days ago, will post soon.

Great find! Love small fractures for photography, but I don't use them for visual work. for visual observing I use the Oberwerk BT in my avatar. Give us a full report!
