From facebook, interesting decrease in periodic error, either it's better than the AM5 or they're more confident in their QC now they've got some experience.

Someone get the currency converter out

The cam I think is 1600 before taxes. The one that hasn't been revealed is the am3 or the seestar.

Scopes are appearing on the various UK retailer sites, bit cheaper than that Askar equivalents, although lets wait for the cartel to finalise the UK prices.

Are these rebranded scopes from an existing manufacturer?

I’ve ordered the Seestar. I’m too curious to find out how this is. A 50mm f5 triplet astrophotography package for $399? I must be missing something here.

Looks like a great lineup that slowely covers all needed products. Their next step will be an alternative color next to the boring red. Its sad to say but its just a matter of time before the competition goes bankrupt.  When you’re really in love with that model from a competitor, buy it now before its too late.

Is this Seestar 50 going to compete against the EvScope 2 ? Price appears to be knocking this niche market out of the park no?
