Hey Jacob,
I’ve owned two Sky Rover telescopes in the past and I’d say they are good quality but I personally wouldn’t say they’re at the same level as Astrophysics or Takahashi.
They do use FPL53 Japanese glass which Takahashi does along with a dozen other companies. Sky Rover is largely built by Kunming Optics as far as I’m aware which is a Chinese company. Honestly, almost all telescopes these days come from China.
From what I’ve read, a big cost difference can come from the quality of the FPL53 blanks; companies like Astrophysics and Takahashi pay a premium for the higher quality glass. Whether or not Sky Rover is a higher quality line than other Kunming Optics telescopes, I have no idea.
