Cheychi Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 So with the help of members on here I've ordered some new binocs today. Now for a scope. Which of these 2 would prove the better? Skywatcher 130 EQ2. Or Celestron Astromaster 130EQ. Being brand new to scopes, any advice would be appriciated. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornelius Varley Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 The SW 130/650 is better than the Astromaster. Both have the same optics but the Astromaster uses a red dot finder (RDF) that cannot be replaced with another type, the RDF is apparently not particularly brilliant either. The latest version of Astromaster seems to be a slight improvement over the older version with a better RDF Old version New version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
