I finally opened up the boxes ... like a new car smell, but smells like telescope packing
Sat there admiring the 'art work' and decided a current family photo was in order.
Notably one of the kids is missing ... (FSQ85-EDX although working towards ordering)
Sounds like more items will be on sale in the future!
The FS60Q has been taken for a spin and interesting to note when the telescope optics are better how you can arrive at a different opinion about your eyepieces and why the hype around more expensive and / or top of the line eyepieces (i.e. keep the glass in the system at the highest quality and you observe something special). Still comes down to seeing of the night (or day if terrestrial), what your setup is and how good your eyesight is. Hoping to get my eyes to take in some good photons viewing through the family set.
Tak Mewlon - Deep sky and planets
TSA120 - at the moment flat out viewing, but considering imaging as a possible option
FS60Q - great views of the moon, terrestrial, could go widefield
The FSQ85-EDX would probably round things out with more of a widefield balance.
Oddly enough the Meade ED80 5000 series is like a comfortable old shoe and I just use it.
Trying now to reconcile which scopes will stay as I am back to too many again. Any recommendations based on the scopes in my signature are welcome.
Enjoy the family photos.
