What a fantastic telescope! This is why I love this channel, I have a Bresser 127L with hex focuser, I love it, with a Baader contrast booster it has practically no CA. I also have a 12 inch dob which is awesome but I use the 127 more I should also mention I have a Vixen 90M which is another amazing achro.
@@ScrapYardDog64 I appreciate your comment and you watching my channel and you liking it I’m gonna try for next week this long I start acro against the meade f9.3 acro If the weather clears up
@@janomacko5764 it is very long, which I think is probably a downfall for a lot of people now as I said I probably these days would pay more and get a scope that’s half to size if it was ED but it did put up a pretty nice image
Wow fantastic comparison. Sweet to see that the older folks had those good views. Perhaps an acro (maybe not that long😅) could give good results with a fringe killer? Had the choce between a C8 and a Televue 127is (second hand), price wise i had to go with the C8. I never owned a refractor
@@atiladudus3168 thanks for watching. There’s nothing wrong with the 8 inch SCT. I had one for a very long time. It is perfect for large and extremely portable for its size One day in the future, if you could ever own a nice refractor, I’m not sure I would say get one this long but if you can, I would recommend it
Interesting. I have a question for you, when you look at a planet with the 140 mm Askar APO vs the 126 mm WO APO, at the same magnification do you see more details with the bigger refractor ? Or are the details the same and just the brightness is higher ? Thank you :)
@@Hanejejrjxn it’s a little bit brighter in the 140 but on Saturn I didn’t see anything different Now I know since then when I’ve done other comparisons, and I looked at other telescopes where there was no difference on Saturn when I went to Jupiter, there was a difference So I’m gonna do a part two to this one and I guarantee that I’m Jupiter I’ll probably see a difference But I do like the focus of the 140 I think it’s much better and even though it’s bigger, it’s more portable
Nice comparison. Joe did you ever own the Skywatcher Evostar 90/900 achromat? If yes, what do you think about it and it's optical performance? I ordered one today, the OTA with 2 eyepieces finder and diagonal was just 200 usd so I thought it would be a nice upgrade to the 70/700 mm achromat I use now :)
@@Hitzaponylife actually in an upcoming video I am boring a sky watcher 90 mm times 900 mm focal length so that’s pretty much the exact one you’re talking about however it’s not called evostar F10 get you a nice balance not too big but nice performance and it’s not too heavy so I would say it’s a good all around scope
@ Can't wait to see the video :). Regarding the name, maybe the one you will get is an older model or so. On all sites I looked the 90/900 mm Skywatcher achromat is called Evostar. Anyway I think it's the same model. Maybe you can test it on Saturn or Jupiter against the more expensive but smaller Skywatcher 80 ED :)
@@JoeJaguar Length can be an issue but it is also a benefit. The longer the F ratio the easier it is to make the optics and more chance they will be good. Also its good for magnification. I just wish they would make long focal length apos. There are a few out there but they are Chinese and not available in the U.S because everyone wants to take pictures. I just don't get astrophotography I do have a 105mm Japanese achro at 9.5.
@ to add to your statement, I guess it depends on what size at one time I know other brands and in Canada we had antares 105mm f14.5 In this size or the 80 mm or maybe the 100 mm the size factor is not so critical but I guess once you get to 127 mm to the 150 mm that becomes a monsters beast
@@JoeJaguar Yes it does. My 150ED was heavier than my 150 achro and ended up being too much for my mount. I think the length is the real issue more than the weight. have you given thought of the old "Great Refractors" of the 19th century? The CA on those was off the charts! And we whine about CA today!

A big scope for a big man🔭💪nice comparison Joe

great shootout ! 👍

What a beast of a telescope. Looks larger than 12 inch dobsonian.

Yes! A very nice achro.

Now a have a new idea to how to cost effectively own a Refractor. I wonder how a high-end 5" frac would perform against a C8.

@ i think they only call it evostar name in the uk
In Canada or usa they dont call it evostar for the acro model
Only the ed one is called evostar
Interesting comparison
@@BurningFlame1999 thanks
Very interesting video, like!
@@3dfxvoodoocards6 thanks for watching
Cool Istar scope. Too bad they are not made anymore at least to my knowledge. Good focal length too.
@@lornaz1975 it put up a pretty good image. The only downfall is the lengths.

@ I know after a while for me the 150 mm F8 was becoming, even though it wasn’t so heavy, but it was becoming a little tiresome with the length
