The scope is a Skywatcher ED80. But I’ve made several mods on it since I start using it 6 years ago, so from an aesthetically point of view there’s very little between my scope and the original ED80. The only two things still original are the main tube and optics, apart from that I changed everything, made a new retractable dew shield, and an integrated mounting ring, changed the focuser for a William optics (rotary type and dual speed), and also the adapter witch I made from a lens to keep the CPU and mount (this way I insure metering with any Nikon body). Of course none of these mods are really necessary, but I love tuning things to my taste.
I can’t show you a photo with the camera mounted because I only have one body at the moment
Focus is manual yes, but it’s very easy. First the focusing action itself is really good, very smooth and accurate and the optics are very sharp, images really pop into focus in the viewfinder, I have little problems doing even in flight shots with this setup.
