Skywatcher f4 Carbon Fibre OTA

Just wondering if anyone has purchased one of these yet for imaging. There seems to be some favourable reports and images on some of the UK sites. Seems a Baader MPCC or similar is a given for this focal ratio.

I was doing a quick comparison, and in terms of my ED120 which is f7.5, would be 3.5x quicker exposure.........for a very similar focal length 800mm versus 900mm. Downside is a lot more fiddling. With the ED120 or ED80, it is just plug and play, whereas at F4, I imagine collimation would be a bit finicky.

Very tempting..... might do a bit more research!!


Cheers,

Daniel
