  1. I currently have a SW 120ED, and I was also thinking about this refractor at the time. Same optics as TS Photoline, StellarVue, Altair, etc. On the Cloudy Nights forums there was discussion regarding the quality of the optics of these tubes. The interferometric reports that StellarVue offered upon request, as Altair does in all those it sells, were made on 95% of the lens (from Altair I don't know), not on 100%, apparently in order to mask something the real quality of the optics. Finally StellarVue stopped selling them, I don't really know why. Certainly the mechanical quality is superior to that of the SW, although I doubt that it is optically. I also consulted with Jon Teus, a Spanish salesperson who reviews for Tribuna de Astronomía magazine and whom I totally trust. He told me that the SW had better quality control in terms of optics. Some reviews: Interferometric tests from https://teleskop-austria.at/ and http://r2.astro-foren.com/index.php/de/ http://interferometrie.blogspot.com/2015/04/120900-equinox-and-ed-apo.html http://r2.astro-foren.com/index.php/de/berichte/02-ed-optiken-halb-apos-und-frauenhofer-systeme
  2. Hello, I bought this second-hand frame a couple of days ago in perfect condition. I have read something about the consumption of the mount and the power problems with certain batteries. I wanted to ask you if to use the mount alone, without any other accessories, it would be enough with this gel battery connected to a voltage regulator, to leave the output at 12'5 V fixed. https://autosolar.es/baterias-gel-12v/bateria-gel-12v-22ah-ultracell-ucg-22-12 https://www.amazon.es/ARCELI-Regulador-alimentación-Protección-Temperatura/dp/B07S33NM2X/ref=sr_1_6?__mk_es_ES=ÅMÅŽÕÑ&dchild=1&keywords=Regulador+de+Voltaje&qid=1602525432&sr=8-6 Thanks
  3. Does anyone know what the back focus amount of the 120ED is?
  4. Hi., I am thinking of buying the new Baader MaxBright II when it goes on the market (if it does). I was wondering if someone who has the SW 120ED can tell me what elements are neccesary to be able to focus. Thank you.
  5. Thanks for answering. I have always liked having the material updated, usually introducing improvements in functionality. I don't have a serial port on my pc, but I have a serial to USB port adapter to use. I would need the pinout cable connection to make me one
  6. Hello, I recently bought an second hand EQ6 Pro II mount with a sysncan V3. The fact is that the seller did not provide me the cable to update the hand controller firmware . Could someone help me and facilitate the pinout to make me one?. Thank you and Merry Christmas.
