Skywatcher Evostar 120


Recommended Posts

  • 8 years later...

I have the Evostar 120 and with decent tracking on an EQ Mount you can get some good DSO images. I got this one of the Pinwheel just a week ago with a Canon 600D and only 30 x 60 sec exposures. It’s a decent tube for the price...plan to upgrade the focuser though I’m finding it a bit sloppy.

Seeing as how I have awoken this thread from its intersellar statis... anyone have any recommendations as a good (budget(ish)) replacement focuser for the stock rack and pinion one this scope comes with... as frankly its a bit c**p.

Needs to be able to focus sharply and hold a Canon 600D for photographing DSO's.

Thanks in advance everyone 👊

Can't go wrong with a Baader steeltrack. I've got one on my ED120.
