Explore Scientific 152mm f/6.5 achro and Quark

#1

Post by Ben Cartwright SASS »


anyone using the ES 152mm f/6.5 achro with a Quark Chromosphere?

and if so what do you think about it.

if you are using a different 150mm with a Quark what do you use and how does it work.

What's wrong with the Lunt 300; if you're eager for another refractor .... :joking: :twocents:
Just call me Geoff....

I do what I do because I can, and because I want to.
It doesn't mean I know what I'm doing :mrgreen:

I would love one, someone asked me my dream scope and that is the one I said!

There is nothing wrong with a Lunt 300mm that $69,999 wouldn't solve. I see my wife when I told her we are selling the house to buy a 300 and building an observatory

I have a friend who has a 150mm, not sure what brand, that he doesn't use while he doesn't want to sell it he is going to let me borrow it once Rhode Island will allow people with Mass plates to enter the state (LOL) I will be able to try it and see what I can do with it over a few days or weeks. Unless it is really better I will stick with my 100 and 120 and Quark and when it gets out of the 30s and 40s my LS80
