Peter Drew Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 It depends a great deal as to what form of upgrade you are seeking and from what current telescope. A little more detail will be helpful. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I dont see any contest between the two. The Esprit is a F5 FPL53 Triplet it wins hands down against the doublet. Adam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Clay Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 If you're considering a doublet why not the SW Ed80 great value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
