I am a new to astronomy (about six months at the time of this writing), accordingly, this review is by an Amateur for Amateurs... for those who are more seasoned, I invite you to comment and correct me.
The review is adjusted and commensurate with the price... i.e., based on reasonable expectations congruent with the price; apples to apples; can't compare a 50k automobile with one priced at 20k.
I was looking for something "light"/"portable" with a relative short focal length to gain a wide field-of-view, to allow me to explore the sky in larger chunks.
For the price, I got much bang for the bucks, so to speak. Do note that you need to use the diagonal, as you may not have enough back travel on to achieve focus without it; just a comment, neither here nor there; by the way I did not need the diagonal when using my DSLR in prime focus with the 2'' adapter.
This is an achromatic refractor, which means that there will be some chromatic aberration, which will manifest itself as blue/purple halos around the stars... this was more noticeable in the pictures I produced and not so much of an issue when just doing visual observations.
But if you want to do some Astrophotography training of the 'brighter" objects in the sky, this scope will help you get there... (Note, preferably, you'll need a motorized equatorial mount for longer exposures). I've included a shot of the Orion Nebula (M42) I did last week, it's a single 30sec exposure on an Atlas EQ-G (no autoguiding) and very minor post-processing in Lightroom.
I do like the fact that it has a 2'' focuser with a 1.25" adapter, this gives you flexibility with both eye-pieces sizes, and prime focus photography.Read more ›
