Unboxing new scope SW 130PDS

[HenryW]

After one week after ordering UPC came to my door and delivered this 6,6 kg Nice and compact package.

First impression is how unbelivable small and compact this Scope is compared to my 200P. The first tought was how well this will fit to my EQ5 Mount and allow me to put some guiderscope and camera on it. The other important thing is the double speed focuser that certainly will improve my focusing while imaging. I like very much the color, much more than the big blue one. Unfortunately it comes With a 25mm Stock eyepice, i have some Three others, but its okay, i can live With another one

Also to note is how much more easy it will be to handle it, move it the few meters and Mount it  from my cabin to the observing/imaging "station" and the ease of Storage. It needs of course to be colimated as can be shown in the last image. Note the 1/72 scale Hawker Hurricane used for comparition of the size.

Tomorrow it will be transported to its New home in Telemark where it will be properly colimated. Hopefully there will be Clear skies to give it the first ight.

First impression: I like it very much

I am sure you'll love it, I'm not entirely sure why I sold mine but I regret it. These are in my opinion the best imagers for the money!

Enjoy!

Interesting 1/72 scale hurricane alongside to supply scale........just how big is that?

The normal scientific comparison scale used for astronomy is the old can of baked beans

Nice looking scope BTW

Enjoy
