Agree with Brian in his post. I have the Espirit 150. It has become my favourite scope
Heavier than I expected though and bit of a handful getting it onto my mount , have to be careful with the back. I run it on a Losmandy G11GT. I had to get a very long dovetail to comfortably support the very heavy front end as I was sliding it into the saddle.
I don't really do visual any longer but have had the occasional look and it looks pretty sharp on planets and moon.
I am pleased with its imaging performance and the field flattener easily covers stars to the edges on APS-C sensors like my ASI2600MC, STL6303 and QHY16200A. Just wish I lived outside my city location
