I personally prefer ( Bintel ) GSO Newts for imaging and Skywatcher Newts for viewing ( I have both )
Reason - I prefer the GSO dual speed focusers and they are designed and machined better , more robust, better thumb screws etc.. and smoother. The Skywatcher dual speed focusers have crappy thumbscrews and are not a good design. That’s why I use them for visual only
Both have excellent , tubes , spiders , mirrors etc ...
I just favour GSO for imaging but either way they both do a good job !!
Cheers
Martin
