Description

This is a comparison of my ExploreScientific APO 127/952 ED FCD with a 2x Televue APO extender plus a QHY163C camera with Telescope.Live´s PlanWave CDK24 plus QHY600M camera. As you are certainly aware, the price difference is about a medium size car...

The first one is my own shot at Bortle 3-4 with an average seeing of about 1.8 and the second one was taken in Chile at Bortle 1 and comes from Telescope.Live.

No doubt, the CDK24 shot is much better, better definition, more details etc - but - the ES APO is a really very good instrument ( nevertheless, I am planning to sell it, because I do not use it often, most of the time, I use my 10" Lacerta Newton.

For logical reasons, I was only able to list my own acquisition details -

The TL data were acquired in 2023-03. 5hours40minutes in total, LRGB, 68filestotal

I thought, this direct comparison might be of interest for you as well

Thanks for looking!
