Sky Watcher 18" StarGate first review
Mrbloke replied to raanany's topic in Member Equipment Reviews
The nearest ES scope is less than half the price of this though! I would much rather have a Sumerian for my money based on this review. Most upsetting as its a considerable sum for a scope. -
Exactly that. I find that Stellarium is more than a little bit optimistic about my level of light pollution, so I went out, checked what I could see and tweaked it accordingly.

If you refer to the sketch of M31 in post 1 of this thread, this is extremely accurate as to what to expect. Don't hope for too much in the way of colour, that's pretty much just for the astrophotographers out there!

Thats really going to depend on your level of light pollution and the quality of the sky at the time. If you find out what you can see in a portion of sky at your location, then adjust the light pollution level in the sky and viewing options menu to match it, this will help.

What's the shower cap for? -
A bit of a thread resurrection, but this mini-review really helped me determine where to start my EP collection. I now have the 18mm and 8mm of these and am very happy with them. It is certainly a significant upgrade over the stock EPs and make viewing much more immersive.
