I try not to recommend $2K to someone who has said their price point
is $500. But I have said "There is nothing worth buying for that

Re: etx 80
Hi Mike...
I do understand your view, and respect it, and if it was a person who had
nothing at the moment, sure, I'd probably think it was perfect advice. It's
certainly a good starter setup. But my

Hi Darcy,
Sooo, I'm going to go in a different direction than previous commenters,

Re: etx 80
Hello Darcy,
I, too, have an ETX80. I've had mediocre success with it. It is the
