Purchased the SV503-102ED after having excellent results with the SV503-70ED. Smooth 10/1 focus. Sturdy tube and mounts. Snug dew shield retention. Great black anodize finish on optical fittings. Fittings have compression sleeves. Optics are good even without the field flattener, having only minor star stretching at the edges using a APS-C crop sensor. The 70ED with an APS-C crop sensor allow for 3 degrees (or 6 moons) field of view. The 102ED with an APS-C crop sensor allow for 1.5 degrees of view. Would buy again.
The weather, new software, learning curve have limited my use of the scope to date, but I am eagerly awaiting for clear skies!
What a fantastic telescope! The high-resolution viewing is beyond impressive, and the dual-speed rack and pinion focuser makes it easy to capture detailed astrophotographs. I'm so pleased with this purchase.
I was blown away by the performance of this refractor telescope! The color accuracy is remarkable, not to mention how sharp celestial bodies appear due to its aperture and focal length - an absolute must-have for any astronomy enthusiast.
Having owned several scopes over the years, this one truly stands out. Its excellent built quality reminds me of some top-notch scopes I've used before. Plus, there's no slippage when adjusting focus - such a great feature!
The views through this scope are stunningly clear and crisp! And it works marvelously under starry skies 🌟 Definitely worth every penny spent.
This refractor telescope has been an incredible addition to my astro gear collection! It delivers amazing clarity even on brighter planets without any false color 👍
I'm absolutely thrilled with my new 102mm ED Achromatic Refractor Telescope for Astrophotography! With its CNC machined technology ensuring stable performance under various conditions, it surely takes stargazing experience up a notch!
I've been an avid stargazer for years, and have used a variety telescopes in my time. But this 102mm ED Achromatic Refractor Telescope has truly taken my astrophotography to the next level! The images I can capture with it are just phenomenal - so clear, sharp, and detailed. It's like looking at the night sky a whole new set of eyes. Plus, the build quality is superb; you can tell that every component was designed with care and precision.
Purchased as an alternative option but ended up being extremely satisfied with its performance against chromatic aberrations that were non-existent even at the edge of the view field. It's a definite win!
This telescope is well-constructed with fantastic optics that provide extremely clear views of celestial bodies. I would highly recommend it to both beginners and seasoned astronomy enthusiasts.
What makes this scope stand out for me is how it can make even cheap eyepieces look great! The images produced are simply stunning, making every stargazing session an absolute delight 🌠
The color rendition on this refractor telescope is top-tier! 👏
I'm more than 100% happy with my new astrophotography companion – its features are so well thought out and constructed, delivering awesome crystal-clear views!
As someone who loves to explore the wonders of outer space from their backyard, getting this telescope was one of the best decisions I've made! Its large aperture allows for excellent light gathering capability which results in brighter images even under less than ideal viewing conditions. The chromatic aberration is significantly reduced thanks to its ED glass making each celestial body appear more vibrant and distinct.
The mechanics and appearance of this telescope are beautiful! Managed to get some gorgeous pictures of Jupiter through it. There was absolutely no chromatism observed 🔭
For anyone hesitant about getting this scope – just go for it! Focusing is smooth as butter and you'll be able to capture some truly amazing photos even from light-polluted areas 💫
I am absolutely thrilled to share my experience with this telescope that I recently had the pleasure of using. The first thing that struck me was its astoundingly sharp focus, which exceeded all my expectations and truly took my stargazing experience to a whole new level. The clarity offered by this instrument is simply unparalleled – every celestial object viewed through it appeared with an exceptional degree of detail. It's as if the veils were lifted off the night sky, revealing a spectacle of crisp and clear stars that I could never have imagined seeing from such close quarters. What particularly impressed me about this telescope was its ability to maintain perfect focus even at high magnifications. This allowed for breathtaking views of distant galaxies, nebulae, and other deep-sky objects that are typically difficult to observe in such detail. Additionally, there wasn't any noticeable chromatic aberration or distortion around the edges - something many telescopes struggle with but not this one! Every star looked pin-sharp across the entire field of view; it felt like looking out into space itself rather than observing it through an optical instrument.
😍 Can't recommend enough!
I was unsure about its performance initially but after watching numerous YouTube reviews, I gave it a shot and boy am I impressed! 🌟
This 102mm telescope performs as expected with all added features needed for an astrophotography rig. The construction is solid and high quality while optics are better than expected.
The build quality seems fine 👍
This very well-built tube assembly offers an image quality on par with my larger refractors making it an excellent choice for spotting scopes once you find a suitable tripod. Pairs perfectly with my AVX mount while offering unedited photos right through the eyepiece on first light night. Dew shield helps but needs more prevention in humid nights 🌙
A good investment indeed! Managed to take some stunning pictures so far using this scope along with a field reducer/flattener that greatly improved image quality at corners 👏 Five stars all around!
I've been using this telescope for a few months now and it's fantastic! The images are so clear and sharp, which makes my astrophotography work much easier. I'm seriously impressed with the quality!
