its just a 12" GPS UHC not the ACF model.
Optics on this scope apear to be perfect, no scratchs, smudges, anything.
Yeah i understand the magnificatons, just surprised, my last scope was a 16" dob,
For eg, jupiter, all i can see is 1 band, no spot, it just looks like and orange disk, with one band across it. Its also struggling to focus sharp above 100x. I allow the telescope to cool for over 2 hours before viewing.
my 16" and even my old 8" newtonian could resolve a number of bands and the great red spot, but this 12" SCT is just not giving me any detail.
Seeing shouldnt effect planetry viewing,
im just hoping it is due to collimation. Ive done the star tests, and it was out, i did a rough adjustment, and by eye, looks fine, but i know it can still be quite off.
Will wait till i get the laser colimation.
