CCD Imager Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Any one own this scope and can share experiences, especially for CCD Imaging I saw one at Kelling this weekend and it quite takes my fancy, but with a bad history of short FL triplet, Petzval refractors in this field, I am apprehensive. I am particularly looking for a FL of 300-350mm. I can't find any reviews or even images taken with this scope. Cheers Adrian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CCD Imager Posted August 11, 2019 Author Share Posted August 11, 2019 Yeah, three years late, lol I actually bought the WO Redcat earlier this year, but I would still be interested in seeing how the Tecnosky performs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better late than never lols , i will see how second outing goes but first light was good ,build wise seems good other than the dust cap loose fit but i have a friend machining me a better one ,i have added an autofocuser , and will probably relocate guide scope to the guidescope rings , field rotatator built in , and tilt adjusters built in too if needed eos adapter quickly easily fitted ,field looks flat to the edge, too me anyway ,focuser is smooth seems solid no slop , Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bottletopburly Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 There is a review here of a Meade same scope rebranded https://astrobackyard.com/meade-70mm-quadruplet-apo-review/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CCD Imager Posted August 12, 2019 Author Share Posted August 12, 2019 I'm always wary of Trevors reviews, great chap that he is, he never says anything bad about any astro kit..... I would be interested in whether focus changes between filters, FWHM of blue images compared with red and green and of course, stars at the periphery of the FOV.

bottletopburly Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Im sure I saw another review somewhere might have been skyatnightmagazine I will have a look , I’m not imaging in mono so no filters used so unable to answer that regards fwhm , the sub posted as came off camera no cropping.

CCD Imager Posted August 12, 2019 Author Share Posted August 12, 2019 As you are using a DSLR, then taking photographs of bright stars looking for blue bloat would be helpful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
