written by Zane Landers
The Good
- •Great Optics
- •Ideal Size And Price For Beginner Astrophotographers
- •F/7.5 Speed Doesn’t Urgently Require A Field Flattener For Smaller Sensors
- •Useful For Visual Observing And Accessories Are Provided To Enable Such
The Bad
- •F/7.5 Speed And 600mm Focal Length Poor For Large Targets & Require Better Tracking/Guiding
- •Cannot Balance Without Purchase Of A Longer Dovetail Rail In Some Cases
- •Field Limited To Either Full Frame At F/7.5 Or APS-C + Reducer
- •ED Doublet Design Produces Slightly Inferior Images To A Triplet Or Petzval System
