[QUOTE="Pierro, post: 90269, member: 8517"] Slow - i was right, the Skywatcher and Orion scope are built by Syntra ( parent company ) and the Orion 80ED and Skywatcher 80ED have the same glass, but look a little different cosmetically. Skywatcher have slightly revamped their 80ED and it now has a B&W colour scheme instead of gold, and also has a dual speed focuser instead of a single focuser. It makes no difference to the IQ The Skywatcher is now called the 80ED DS Pro rather than just 80ED Pro for the older gold model. I suspect DS just stands for Dual Speed [/QUOTE]
