Though I have had the opportunity to handle the Opticron HR 66 on a few occasions it wasn't until last week that I had the opportunity to give the HR 80 a go. Yesterday was the first day I had time to sit down and try phonescoping with this monster. I was pretty satisfied with the results.
The HR 80 is a long scope in comparison to many 80 mm class scopes I have used of late so I didn't give it serious attention until recently. I have the SDL V2, Opticron's more expensive zoom eyepiece, on the scope for these pics. Zoom was maxed out at 72x. No zoom on the Iphone 6S. Phoneskope adapter and Bluetooth shutter release.
