Hi all

Am looking at getting a lightweight scope mainly for astrophotography that I can travel around with and came across the TPO UltraWide 180 f/4.5 Astrophotography Lens & Guide Scope. Does anyone have any experience/views? Would you recommend?

 

Thanks

Looks like a rebranded version of FMA 180 which I have. If so, it is designed as a small astrograph and personally I have been pretty impressed with mine. Some people have suggested it suffers from CA, but the example I have seems pretty well colour corrected. I usually use mine with a Canon 600D and it gives a good corrected field to the edge of the frame. Personally, for the price I think it is excellent.

Thanks Clarkey. How much did you pay if you dont mind me asking? The one I've found is up for $399, around £300
