Re: Comparison between 102achro, ed100apo, mak127 SkyWatcher

The bundled 25mm was the culprit for the color fringe , as shown in Moon attempt #1. It's gone when I changed eyepiece for #2 #3 Extra effort to setup 3 scopes before sunset and the clouds float in at 7:40pm. Carry the scopes 1-by-1 to staircase to take photo within 1 hour. After moving this top-hea...

Re: Comparison between 102achro, ed100apo, mak127 SkyWatcher

https://i.imgur.com/3mkhZkS.jpeg Bought this phone clamp for cheap , metal eyepiece loop with plastic phone clamp. Online is about $5 to $7 , I don't recommend this because the above eyepieces used are 14 to 20mm eye relief. This clamp cannot raise the phone high or far enough , must clamp at rubbe...

Re: Comparison between 102achro, ed100apo, mak127 SkyWatcher

https://i.imgur.com/zFLH0x4.jpeg Smooth movement with the mount head. Didn't test high magnification tracking. When lifting whole mount with scope by hand , the top-heavy off-center balance put almost all the weight onto 1 arm. https://i.imgur.com/NpnFLbH.jpeg The azimuth disk doesn't support to fu...

https://i.imgur.com/FPnsXg6.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/SntmZyK.jpeg Same 15mm eyepiece in all 3 telescopes. Surprised the achromat background is warped , I never noticed this flaw at the eyepiece because the scope is portable and wide angle fun to use. https://i.imgur.com/dxF1cVd.jpeg ED100 winner wi...

Comparison between 102achro, ed100apo, mak127 SkyWatcher

I had this ed100 scope and az4 mount on loan for a few weeks and thought about making it useful. Unscientific simple comparison with phone camera on auto + 5 second timer , no dslr. Non-tracking mount , no cooldown for scopes , no zenith. Celestron Astromaster 102az achromat , 660mm focal length Sky...

Re: The Universe@CCK

Heavy rain before the event, brought a smaller achromat refractor as I expected less than 50% chance.
