First Peek through my ED127

My ED127 arrived a few days ago!
The scope look well made and appears to be of good quality.
I cannot compare with the TAKs as I have not used one before.
Pointed it at Jupiter and the Jewel Box last night and the view through it is crisp and sharp. I compare the view with my SW120 and the ED127 is the definite winner. perhaps it is not a fair comparison as the SW is not an apo.
Despite some comments on the forums, I found the focuser to be very usable but then I am only into visual observing and not into astrophotography.
So, overall, I am happy with my new acquisition. I will be looking at selling off my SW120.
