Is that the Esprits?Lady Fraktor wrote: ↑Fri Jun 04, 2021 6:04 pm You seem to be comparing mass produced to premium optics which you just cannot do.
Mass produced optics will only have a standard of QC at a set price point, where a premium optic QC level will be much higher.
Occasionally you will find a Meade, Skywatcher, Celestron that is better than the rest of their offerings but it is priced accordingly as well.
Those few telescopes get a higher QC level than the rest.
An example is some of the high end Skywatcher that were designed in Belgium (Lichtenknecker Optics), not in China.
Esprits are triplets & Evostars doublets. There were early collimation issues with Esprits (& other makes) I think, it was one of the reasons I bought a Takahashi TSA-120 triplet instead, never any reported issues & only good reviews.Lady Fraktor wrote: ↑Sun Jun 13, 2021 6:47 pm Esprit, Evostar I guess it depends on the area you purchase it in.

It's a doublet, beware!
After reading this discussion so far I would say go for it!
I haven't seen it on the APM site yet. Is there already a price known?
