I have been imaging with the Astro-Tech version of this scope for almost a year now and it is such a nice first scope that produces amazing images of the night sky. Cheers...
Nice review, and spectacular image. I also like that they provide a R&P focuser with the scope. Astronomics (in the US) was selling these scopes for a while under their Astro-Tech brand. A friend has one but I don't think he's had the chance to do much imaging with it yet. I'm looking forward to part 2. I've always wondered what a quad apo looked like inside.
Very nice review. I got a different scope and the metal cap fell off that one as well. I fixed it the same way you did. I do agree that scopes should come with a dovetail.
Just got the 80mm version of this. apart from the dovetail (and i think i know why they dont supply one) everything you did not like in your review of the 65mm has been fixed. Screw cap lens cover and all. I got one of the first of the new 2014 version of this with the 2.5mm R&P focuser
Another entertaining and informative video Dion, thanks :) question can you use this scope 'visually' as well, as the TS site is confusing me a tad. Many thanks
Yes you can, although because it's primarily an astrograph it has no diagonal included and you'd have to use one, I tried mine visually and it gave me the wow effect as it's views are very crisp and clear.
Hello Harry. Excellent video and very helpful as I just bought one a few weeks ago. Can you point me where to buy the extensor?... Really looks very solid. I have been doing some tests with a modified Canon EOS 550D and stars are sharp all the way. Regards.
I am considering the Triplet 102mm from TS certified - or a Quad however since Brexit they (TS) are quoting unto 30% import duties - do you know anything about this as I really want a TS - thanks! PS good content ! Simon (UK)

Cheers Dion, the 200P still gets the odd night out. Too much rain. It's been a while since your last vid. Thanks for the latest one.

I've just bought an AT65EQD and this was really useful, thanks.
Nice looking scope and a fantastic image of the Whirlpool. PS, you have a comma instead of a full stop in the Modern Astronomy link.
Typo fixed, thanks ;)

Israel Gil I have no idea who Harry is, but the extension I use is this one (scroll down a little) www.modernastronomy.com/accessories.html
Hi Dion, are you still doing astrophotography these days? I’d love to see some more images and tutorials from you!

Have a chat with Bernard at Modern Astronomy, he is one of their agents, tell him I sent you. He may be able to help you out.
@@astronomyshed How much are these worth now, do you know or would pay for? I am looking at one now - any advice would be helpful - thanks!
@@astrodad-simonb277 I gave you advice. I told you to speak to Bernard at Modern Astronomy. He is an agent for TS.
@@astronomyshed Just spoken with him, very helpful indeed.Thank you. Regards Simon
Would this scope be ok with a DSLR at one end. had a few scopes sub 80mm that slip.
I reckon so, it's a good solid built scope, surprisingly VERY heavy for it's size.
very nice for an under 3 inch, shit hot tnx jeff ..
Bentornato Dion! ..
