Is there any difference between Saxon and Skywatcher?


Recommended Posts

Hi there,

Does anyone know the difference between Saxon and Skywatcher because my currently looking for a Dobsonian and the Skywatcher dobs are out of stock. So does Skywatcher have better quality then Saxon?

Kind Regards

So we have Saxon telescopes and Viking telescopes. What's next? Goth telescopes? All black, of course 🙂

 

Yes but the Vandal took the handle so no scope for a joke.

Are they similar to the Jute range of scopes?🤔🤣

So, basically, pick some ancient European tribal name name such as Thuringia, Ostrogoth, Visigoth, Alemanni, Pict, Suevi, etc. and slap it on a telescope sold in Europe?  By this reasoning, we'd be getting Koroa, Mohegan, Powhatan, Takelma, Wyandot, etc. branded telescopes here in North America.  I guess I better get started trademarking them.

Aztec would be a very good name for a scope brand. The Aztecs had a very advanced understanding of astronomy for their time. 🤔

Finding enough virgins to sacrifice for clear skies might be a challenge

With the shortage of scopes atm I think I got the final one in stock: the last of the Mohicans

Ancient tribes aside (why does nobody mention the Belgae or the Frisii, even Ceasar knew they were the bravest - they still are 😇), I'm not familiar with the Saxon brand, but if they are Synta scopes as Peter says, they should be ok.
