Nope

God knows!! Most of the new shortube refractors seem to be f6.3 - f6.5. That scope seems a "funny" size to me...

[OXO]

Strange 6" that but i would say it will be like a star travel 150?

[GazOC]

Funny that the scope is 152mm rather than 150. All the shorttube Anatares and TS scopes are 152mm but the Skywatcher/Helios were 150mm?

That scope seems like a bit of both?

[OXO]

I would ask myself about it being a true 152 Gaz but your right it does look a mix of the Two matey

I was thinking the same.

All the shorttube Anatares and TS scopes are 152mm

I think it is the TS.

Wonder what the colour correction is like...

[Jamie]

Won't be too good being a short tube version IMO.

[GazOC]

I think it is the TS.

Wonder what the colour correction is like...

I've seen a TS f6.4 or f6.5 but not a f5. Probably the same lens manufacturer do you think?

I'm not going to comment on the colour correction....

[FLO]

Gaz,

Isn't yours and Daz's refractor a TS?

[GazOC]

Yep Steve. Daz has the 127mm f6.4, I've got a 152mm f8 in the post at the moment (cloudy night shopping!! ), in theory they should give similar levels of colour correction. I just hope its in the same ballpark as my 127mm f9....

Slighty off topic but what ya gonna do with ya other scope Gaz the 127?

Back on Topic, those Ts's look value for money, this one(Brasser) looks quite expensive or am i missing something?

[GazOC]

I might keep the 127 mate. I got the 152 at a good (ish) price. It depends if the CA is too much in the 152, I should see more detail in the bigger scope but if the CA (on planets) is too much then I'll sell it and settle for the 127. You know the "free trial" theory!!

The 127mm is a cracking planetary scope, when a bigger version came up for a reasonable price I jst could resist. I just hope I get a well corrected one, the TS scopes do have a good reputation.

You are happy with that 127 Gaz and that tells me a lot matey
