Came across 2 ED /APO refractors that have peaked my interest for my Celestron AVX mount. To be used for both Astrophotography & planetary, lunar visual.
They differ a bit in their features, ones strength may be another's weakness.
1./ TC Optics 102APO f/7
Uses FPL53 glass and lanthanum coating
2./ Stellamira ED 110 F/6 (similar to Orion EON 110)
Uses FPL51 glass, a bit faster scope, slightly wider field of view.
TS Optics has the superior glass. May be easier for visual viewing.
Stellamira has 8mm. more aperture may be easier to centre a large target like Andromeda for astro.
Comes with a case.
Does anyone have any experience with either of these two for astro & visual?
Price is fairly similar for either. They both are inline with my budget.
