Esprit 120mm stick or twist.

After contacting all the main suppliers the waiting time for the Esprit 120 is anything up to 6 weeks so I’ve been checking out other alternatives namely the TS130,does anyone have experiences of either ota.

Just to add this would be for imaging.

Astrograph has the Tecnosky 130 triplet.  Speak to Rupert if you want more info. Great to deal with.

The TS, Tecnosky and Altair 130 f/7 are basically the same scope. If you can find a review for any one of them, it will be true for the others.

 Made by the same company that makes the TS version so check the TS reviews. Bought a Tecnosky 125 a few weeks ago and very impressed with the build and optical quality. Tecnosky in Italy tests all the scopes before shipping and then Rubert at Astrograph tests it again when it arrives in the UK so you know you will get a good scope.

So if the TS,Tecnosky and Altair are just about the same scope then the TS would be the better buy based on price.

Don’t forget to add VAT and import duties if buying from Telescope Express.
