Hi Simon, Wow, what a jewel! I'm surprised you got somewhat of a clear sky with NEW EQUIPMENT. That final image is awesome. Was that just the Ha/O3 filter? Very impressive.

Here's wishing for more clear skies for you.

Many 60mm aperture quad or more optics scopes around nowadays, if this is very new latest from Altair then they are late, i could get one like 2 years ago but i didn't, in fact i prefer my Askar FRA400 over it, i even will choose Askar FRA300 over it which is same specs but Askar is a Quintuplet instead of just a Quad.

That’s nice. But I’m caught in between the 60 and 70mm now. I’m looking to use it as secondary scope on same mount as my 115edtx and then use either one as guide scope. I think a 585mc on the 60-70 mm and the 585mc pro on the 115edtx. Any thoughts or inputs to this ?
@SimonsAstro

@@meibergstrmandersen9181 Thanks for watching Kenneth! The 115edt focal length at 805, is similar to my Esprit 120 at 840, I use the 50mm Evoguide for a guide scope on that rig, which works fine! Consider the weight of a guide scope! The 60mm Quad weighs just over 3kg, the 70 is a little more! Both would perform great as a guide and as a secondary scope! There’s only 50mm between the 60/70 (300/350) I think I would use the 60 as a guide scope! Good luck with your decision 👍

But the Altair looks like 110% better. It might be the same optics tube and focuser, but the whole package just looks better in the Altair version. Kind of like with cars, you see same transmissions, drivetrain, 4 wheels, etc., but the total package from brand to brand varies. And good to hear you recommend the basic specs 🙂
