I have a Televue Genesis and am very happy with it as a travel scope. But the
13cm Skywatcher Heritage for only $189 is very tempting due to its larger aperture which means about 0.5 mag brighter, and portability (7 kg incl rockerbox). The Genesis + SP mount + tripod weighs 10kg and provides very crisp virtually color-free images.
What is the catch ? Central obstruction ? Less contrast ?
