One has to remember these are only cheap scopes..they have their problems...F5 Aspheric was good on DSOs etc .though still needs filtering ..got a good one perhaps.

Can NOT compare to a good ED or Triplet for colour correction, or focus of colours..you WILL see MORE Planetary detail and go deeper..and be able to do long exposure deepsky AP.

What it will do, is give you a taste of big refractors on visual deep sky mostly.

These scopes vary a lot in lens quality ..some good , some aweful..its a lottery as with SCTs.

Never tried this model, has only a normal achro lens...some can tolerate the purple flaring on objects... others not so..focusers ..aweful!

If you already have Reflectors, SCT etc.. buy cheaply and try it , if you really must..sell it if not to your tastes, its up to you.

Better still wait and save up for an ED Or Triplet of 4" or more.
