Okay Andrews has just got back to me with this reply: -
We have had some customers experience problems reaching focus with the Skywatcher 200x1000P OTA.
For an f/5 imaging OTA, I recommend the Guan Sheng GS-630 which is optimised for imaging. We sell this OTA for $429.
Does anyone have any opinions on the Guan Sheng (I have never heard of them)
The one I fancy from that range is this: -
Guan Sheng GS-630
8" f/5 imaging Newtonian on Skywatcher
HEQ5PRO "Go-To" equatorial mount with tripod
***Super low price!***
$1599 AUD
In stock!
Why pay A$1699 elsewhere?
Absolutely outstanding quality and value
200mm x 1,000mm parabolic mirror Newtonian reflector on the
HEQ5PRO extra heavy duty equatorial mount with adjustable tubular stainless steel tripod legs.
Photo shows a mount
similar to HEQ5PRO.
Crayford style microfocuser with 10:1 fine focusing!
Your advice and opinions would be most welcome...again.
