I own and have used both both Skywatcher and GSO newts over the past 4 years
Skywatcher OTA’s especially the focusers are inferior in manufactured quality ( not optics ) IMHO to GSO , poorly machined thin walled adapters and grub screws have crappy threads
It is worth the “mess about” on the 6” GSO which takes 15 minutes to do
By the way my GSO 8” f5 newt reaches focus out of the box
I’m considering a 10” f5 newt for my new Obs late this year and it will definitely be a GSO
Cheers
