Brandon 1980's 80mm "Apo"
Not really an APO. Limited to about 50X per inch aperture. Very nice body an build, and very compact/durable, but not a realistic choice for astronomy. I found it ev en fell short of my Orion Express 80 which is definitely better as an astronomical instrument. Save this Brandon for name dropping; that is it's only superlative.

It's not really an apo, but still, it's a nice little scope. I've often set mine up at my astronomical society open houses for views of the Moon. It's quite nice for that.
