Skywatcher evostar 72ED or Takahashi FS-60CB?

[viscid remnant]

I was wondering if the Takashi scope would be better than the 72ED, because of it‘s fluorite glass. Which one is better?

[viscid remnant]

I haven't used either of them but I think the tak is way better

[golden ice]

I have the 72ed, its great. But I think the tak would be way better if you can afford it

Takahashi is better but much much more expensive

[viscid remnant]

The 72ED is 450£ + 290£ (field flattener) = 740£ - the takahashi is 749£ so for me there isn‘t much of a difference

[toxic harness]

tak needs a ff also...

[viscid remnant]

How much would that cost?

[toxic harness]

either one of those 2

so you see it becomes a 1000p scope instead of the 740 ...

[viscid remnant]

Yep…

But I think its still in my price range

[toxic harness]

and also thats just the ota for 749, you need 200 more for the rings

Buy an ASKAR 300 for that price , it has everything + cheaper

I see, wouldn‘t I also need a field flattener for that?

[toxic harness]

no

thats a petzval quintuplet

no extra cost and you have perfect optics corner to corner with optimized backfocus distance with any camera

if i was buying any 200-400mm scope i would buy that with no thinking

[viscid remnant]

Wow, this sounds a bit to perfect for that price…

you can take my advice or choose or your own it doesnt matter to me , but i know my personal choice and thats my choice
