I also have the ESPRIT 120ED but with a moonlite focuser.
I now doubt claims by manufacturers unless it’s someone like astro-physics, tak etc.

I have a QHY600M PH with QHY filter wheel & 50mm chroma filters

I two issues. I don’t think it’s that flat but I don’t know how the skywatcher claims compare with others but if I was to buy another OTA today, I’d err on the quality end of the market (which is almost impossible to get with someone like a stro-physics )
2nd issue is a strange reflection I never saw with a 4/3 sensor (ie ASI1600MM)

also, I needed a special fitting made to give me the 75mm spacing from the back of the flattener to the sensor (ie. the correct backfocus)
