I own this. Bought it on pre-sale. I don't really care that it's 6.9 as I do 300 sec exposures anyway. It does produce great images I find. I did push it to 900 second exposure on the Eagle Nebula. Just a single image. I was surprised on how good the image came out. I definitely would recommend this scope to anyone looking for a nice budget friendly scope. Great video!!! Clear skies!!!!!

You are one of the most underrated astrophotographers! This video was so well made and gave just the right amount of info needed for beginners just starting out on deep sky astrophotography ❤️🌌

Really? Stars are bloated. Color rendition is nothing special; actually nothing at all. Resolution is not high. What remains.

@anata5127 It's important to remember that everyone starts somewhere. This video provides a solid foundation for beginners and helps them get started with deep sky astrophotography. Criticism can be great, but let's also acknowledge the effort and valuable information shared. Improvements come with practice and experience.

This seems like a well built option for low cost astrophotography. I have the 107phq and Askar indeed produces parts that punch way above their price point.

the hardwired subtitles are a distraction, I'd rather the choice rather than being forced to look at it

no matter what type of telescope you have if you don't have a good camera there is no way you are going to get any kind of decent image

Yes, you need expensive equipment. You will get better photos (much better photos!) with Epsilon 130D than those “wonder scopes” from Askar, Celestron, etc.

Well yes clearly you will get a better image with a 130mm aperture f/3.3 than a 70mm aperture f/6.9, but this is still a very good choice especially because of the price point for beginners

Is this a fair comparison? Takahashi Epsilon 130D costs 2530 gbp sterling from First Light Optics. Maybe we should use the JWST as a comparison, spend 16 Billion and then 30 billion launching it into space!

Gee, maybe us poor proles that can't swing fifteen thousand quid for astrophoto gear should just piss off and leave the skies to you then, eh? It's insufferable elitist attitudes like yours that keep people from even bothering to try their hand at the hobby.
