미드 LX85 8인치 뉴턴 반사 OTA - 217022

I’ve been using it on my existing mount for a few nights now, and the views of Jupiter’s cloud bands are noticeably sharper compared to my old 6-inch scope. The included 2-inch eyepiece holder made switching between wide-field and planetary viewing really straightforward.

Finally got this set up on my CGEM mount and the first clear night showed me Saturn’s rings sharper than I’ve ever seen through my old scope. The whole tube is surprisingly easy to carry outside for an 8-inch, which makes quick observing sessions a breeze.

The mirror has great light-gathering power for deep-sky objects, and the tube feels balanced enough to swap between mounts without much hassle. Only gripe is the focuser could be smoother for fine-tuning, but it holds collimation well once set.
