2-20-2022 TSS Visual Report of the Day.

by helicon

"An Evening of Observing and Dueling"

Today's report features an interesting comparison between two scopes, a 102 mm Besser Achro and a 102mm AstroTech ED refractor. Follow along as The Wave Catcher (Steve) puts both scopes through the paces on a variety of close doubles and bright stars with close in companions. For most observations, the Astro-Tech wins hands down with superior resolution and flat images, whereas the Bresser starts showing chromatic aberration at powers over 30x. Thanks Steve for the interesting comparison and on winning the TSS VROD for the day!
