I would love to see a compare image between it and a quality refractor.
It is a beautiful image. |
$24K? Maybe in Australia dollars it costs that much, but not in the US. Not even close. No argument from me that there are better value instruments out there.
I've seen the comparison images from this scope and Roland's amazing 175 F/8 refractor. Nearly identical, although I would probably give the F/8 refractor a slight edge in star sharpness. The 175mm refractor is actually several thousand US dollars more expensive.
