I only do visual and have decided to move my small 70mm refractor that I use for widefield views to the city.
This leaves a gap in my scopes in the country (bortle 3-4) as my widest view will only be 1.38 degree with the C5.
I've narrowed things down to 2 achromats with great build quality so am interested if anyone's ever compared them.
- SVBony SV48p 90mm f/5.5
- SVBony SV503 80ED f/7
My main query is whether the ED glass in the 80ED will result in it pulling above it's weight for widefield low/medium mag views against the non-ED 90mm?
Note that I'm really not bothered by CA on the moon and planets as I'll get the C5 or dob out when the moon is out or if it's planetary season.
