SkyWatcher Esprit 120ED APO

Excellent optics! Especially at F/7 stars are perfect.

Drawbacks:

  • maybe a bit on the heavy side, if not used stationary in an observatory (approx. 12_13 kg, without anything added
  • the hood on the font moves awkward, and is also fixated in a bizar way. You would expect smooth velvet sliding: it’s not! It’s even hard to fix it in a decent position.
  • Focusser is ok, but when the drawtube is stretched almost to the end, an electronic focusser like the Pegasus Cube 2 starts having issues with it.
