SVBONY 122mm APO Visual Astronomy Review 

Svbony now sells this refractor with 1399 $, which no doubt is a very good price.

What a beast! Good scope too!

A beautiful refractor and it also has an excellent price.

Very nice scope ! My current visual setup is a 130 EDT (FPL-51) at 910mm /F7 . The mount is a DM-6 with encoders. A big 35mm Stratus adds even more weight, so having wheels on the rig is a plus. Thank you for the review.

An excellent refractor for that price. And its just 6.4 kg, very light for a 122 mm triplet.

Nice video, great choice to review this! I'm running an Orion EON 130 APO which was a bargain compared with alternatives I looked at when I bought it nearly three years ago. Love it visually. It has near equivalent FK-61 ED glass but is slightly (13%) larger, and has a high-end focusser. But the OTA was fully twice the price that SVBONY are predicting for this, and I had to pay for the reducer separately. So with today's inflation I'll be pleasantly surprised if SVBONY it actually hits the price target they have set when it comes to market. Orion's newer FPL-51 130 APO is over 4K today. Let's cross our fingers though!

Good video, I was very surprised on the price of $1595 with the reducer! WOW, I got an AT 125 EDL and it's a Doublet for more than that! Please make a video on how you somewhat balance that scope and AM5 please and don't forget making an video on the AM5 with and without the counter weight. Thanks .

"Venus passed with 'flying colors'." Hee hee. Nice job with this review, as usual.

I bought the APM 6" f/8 lens in cell and had Parallax instruments make a ring flange to thread onto the tube flange of my 6" F/8 Wollensak achromat lens in cell. I sold my TS 6" f/8 OTA with FPL-53 glass and cannot see much of a difference in its performance even though the FPL-53 doublets are the next best thing to fluorite in correcting chromatic aberration. Mine is a doublet whereas yours is a triplet which gives the opticians greater freedom in correcting various aberrations including chromatic.

Thanks for the video, can you please post some pictures from your test results? Thanks

I am thinking of a 81mm scope f6 refractor for the am5 with the Pe 200. I have a 127mm cf f7.5 refractor. I need ZWO cameras and eaf. I have the aa+

Has anyone compared this telescope with the Maxvision 127ED? (or Deepsky 127ED, ES 127ED, AT127EDT) How do they differ in image quality and presence of chromatic aberrations?

Did you talk about any internal baffling or Flocking inside the main tube?

After watching yours and other reviews of this scope. I've placed an order incorrectly. I've ordered 503 102 bundle and don't think it includes the scope. I'm reaching out to reviewers as svbony aren't responding to my messages. Thanks if you can help with any means of contacting them.

Being a triplet, how long does it take to reach thermal equilibrium?

I'm not surprized about takahashi, from the few I saw, going from doublet to triplet seems to give much better result than staying doublet with a better glass.

Aren’t you a narrow band channel? 😅

Hey Bud, nice video.. are you on Instagram?
