Prefer the images with the CC over the newt. π

The Skymax 127 will be perfect on the AZ5. ππ»
A 125mm Doublet perhaps? π

Thatβs what you call a maxed out AZ5. π

Nice! I've been eyeing the F15 version myself. Are you enjoying yours?
Always a pleasure to use and have to remind myself itβs only 80mm as it gives such pleasing views. Everyone should have a classic long frac. π

The Mak and SCT are great planetary and lunar scopes but the Newt has a much wider field of view so perhaps a better all rounder.
The Mak wonβt need collimating but the SCT and Newt will need collimating occasionally.
The AZ-GTi mount can also be used in EQ mode with the addition of a wedge so opens up the possibility of some AP .
Then of course the AZ-GTi is a proper GOTO mount whereas the Starsense is a push to.

They are an interesting brand but allmost totally unknown in the UK which is a pity.Β

As there are two versions of the Steeltrack focuser a lot of the advice refers to the original Steeltrack which can be misleading. π€

What a complete shower these muppets claiming their products are taking the UK by storm are. πππ

Same for my new Tecnosky. Fit and finish are flawless, optics are great, focuser is super smooth. Only things I did to it was fit a Losmandy dovetail and a handle. Like the fact that have fitted a focuser extender on mine which can be removed if you need more in focus travel for a solar wedge etc.

The TAL 200K is a heavy lump. Think the EQ6 moght be more suitable than the HEQ5. You can often find them second hand so shouldnβt be hard to find one at a good price.
Had a TAL 200K so realise it needs a solid mount.

Same factory that builds many of the TS refractors, Technosky and many of FLOs. All built to the same quality but the various resellers add different accessories.Β
The quality of this new crop of scopes is really very, very impressive.

Had a Skymax 180 before getting the CC8β. The CC is sharper on axis than the 180 with better contrast and resolution.Β

FLOs StellaMira 15β losmandy is an excellent bit pf kit. Very solid. Have a couple of them. Think they are better finished than the ADM.

I find the Telrad easier to use than the Rigel.

Although I have the AZ100 could still find a use for a Skytee for a lighter more portable grabβnβgo set up. π

Yes the Skytee is in a totally different class to the AZ5 and will easily handle a scope that would turn the AZ5 to jelly. ππ»ππ»ππ»

Good choice, ππ»ππ»ππ»
On the Report tripod and Manfrotto geared head. Just about stable enough to be used. π€
