i already bought my eq5 pro and now i am in need of a scope with a focal length of around 250mm ish. I've been thinking of the Redcat 51, Askar SQA55, and the Svbony sv555. All three of them are petzval design APO but the Svbony sv555 are the cheapest at $560 (no shipping cost) while the SQA55 is at $800 (+$150 ish for import shipping) and the Redcat 51 at $900 (free shipping) which is a big price difference compared to the svbony. Is the svbony sv555 worth it for the lower price or im just better getting the SQA55? Have anybody tried the sv555?

Thanks

yea well both the sv555 and askar sqa55 are still new. So even if there are good reviews from the basically sponsored youtubers, that doesnt mean that all scopes they sell will perform as good as theirs did.

Redcat has been out for very long time and theres both great revies from the youtubers and the common astrophotographers.

Askar is built more like a lens for both astro and normal photography, which could cause issues (low chance).

Cuiv just now released a review on the askar

and also. For the redcat the new WIFD system is really nice compared to the older versions.

And you can even find a refurbished redcat on william optics wbesite. And they go for much cheaper than new ones.

You can always just go on Astrobin and have a look on what these scopes can do. Or better what the people with these scopes can do, which is a good indicator of what you should be capable of when youre experienced enough

Also do your own research before buying. Look for reviews, not only from youtubers but also common people.

BUT. If you have the money for it, and dont mind taking small risk. I would go for the sqa55

thats just my personal opinion.

I’m pretty sure he isn’t sponsored

Isn’t he free to say whatever he wants?

But yea definetly wait to see if there may be any issues

[frigid oriole]

he can say whatever. And yea technically not sponsored

but they sent him the scope no?

[grim harness]

Doesn’t matter

[frigid oriole]

it does to me. Cuz theoretically speaking, they could have sent him the scope with better quality then whats on the market. If you know what I mean.

Typical marketing things

[grim harness]

Oh, what I meant was, it doesn’t matter if they gave it to him for free if he can say whatever he wants or not

[frigid oriole]

i mean yea

[latent sand]

okay

thanks
