Interesting at that price point, significantly cheaper than the MM77. Could be onto a winner at under £500.

Also the HDF T zoom eyepiece 40862 has been discontinued. A new zoom eyepiece priced at £109 is available. The previous low cost zoom eyepiece the HR3 41145 is still on sale at £139. What the difference is between the HR3 and this new zoom eyepiece is anyone's guess.

Interesting...the new scope is quite light for 80mm and the new eyepiece is lighter too. Low price so it will be interesting to see performance.

No point in looking for useless and meaningless specifications like field of view as surely no potential customer would be interested in them...
