Dunno about that mate.
I seen some pretty amazing shots with these scopes.
All stars out to the edge were flat as pancakes with no bloating I saw.
Yep its a heavy monster and built like a brick so dont drop it on your foot mate or you will be sorry!
In NZ they pay less for astro kit for some reason but I still dunno if I would by one of these over a ed refractor ..... Maybe its pretty good I have to say.
A bigger one would be better but how much would that cost??
Try and see some pics from one coz I think that will make you think hard.
My Sky 90 is all I need for now but.
