Sharpstar 61EDPH II vs Radian Review Part 2 

Thanks. Hope you can fix those things. I myself don't really bother as our copy is a very good one. :)

@@TheNarrowbandChannel would you mind to have a look at some raw data? That could definitely speed up the process

@@stephanw196 Post a link to one. Ill check it out.

That I made. It is very nice and does a much better job. I'll be selling them eventually.

I have the ED80 and am selling it. I think it is very overpriced. 900$ and you need another 340$ for the focal reducer and field flatter. There are lots of 80mm scopes out there for less. I did a review on it here. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-k3ba7gXmi-M.html

@@TheNarrowbandChannel Can not be that much , 700$ is where i am in Serbia with Customs and 20% Tax , , 82ED in Europe is 800$ , ED 80 is not sold any more . I sold mine for 500$ and 200$ for the corrector , so the price of new without corrector . 900$ is a bit much of course , shouldn't be that much , there are better scopes for that money . Actually i like Vixen Fl55SS , thats about 1000$ , 55mm F5 but with Fluorite Glass . And its wide field . Absolute Gem , it actually has Crystals in it not glass , Fluorite is a crystal its not glass and its Nitrogen Purged and sealed . . So i wont be buying a scope if its not Fluorite any more , either that or Reflector for practically 0 Chroma . Problem with Reflectors is that they are all big , you cant find 200-300mm Reflector that is quality made easily , you can but then it costs more then Vixen and Takahashi small refractors . So ...

@@dedskin1 thanks Karen

What part of the hobby? For capture cloud makers has some excellent stuff. For the stacking part I use ASTAP which is very powerful. I am still learning much about it even though I have used it now over a year.

@@TheNarrowbandChannel I also have a Raptor and a C11 both running the ASIAIR Pro. What’s capture cloud makers?

Sorry here is a better link. www.cloudmakers.eu/astroimager/ Also check out the www.macobservatory.com website.

I was using the Olympus Em1 Mk3 and the Em1x. I did a very detailed video about this subject here. Glad you found this interesting. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Z4lpLonSgHI.html

The E-M1X is better... 👌👍

@@TheNarrowbandChannel I just watched your other video. That was very interesting. I didn't realize the EM1X had additional cooling built in. Have you gotten anywhere on building that external cooler? I would really be interested in something like that.

I was sorta waiting for the OM1 so I could make it compatible with older and newer cameras. Fortunately its pretty close looking. So I should be able to make it multi camera compatible. Yes I am still working on it. Tuff project though.

@@TheNarrowbandChannel Undoubtedly difficult, or we would probably see some decent units like that on the market already. For those of us who don't shoot with dedicated astro cameras it could really be beneficial. You should do a Kickstarter. 😁

Sharpstar/Askar are the actual manufacturers and they ended production about 6months ago as of me writing this. They have already replaced it with the new ED61 mk 3 which now has dual ed elements. I have contemplated updating but might just go for the Askar 400 which is f3.9

Yes they both are.

@@TheNarrowbandChannel only reason is in your description you mentioned them as doublets
