Anyone got any feedback on the Svbony 102ED? I recently purchased one and so far have imaged 30 subs of the Sculptor Galaxy. I haven't processed them yet but from what I an see they seem pretty sharp and detailed. I used a generic Astro Tech Field Flattener (non reducing) and I see no elongation of stars at corners at all (using asi 533 mc pro).

There aren't many images on Astrobin submitted so I was hoping others may give some feedback here.

Well not much response on this but  I managed 1 hour or so on Sculptor. Very noisy but the scope is going to produce good images based on what I can see. This image I had the spacing  wrong which blew out the stars. And the Ha was under 1 hour which added noise. but compared with my ED80 this scope has potential. sculptor RGBHa ps copy.jpg

I was curious as well and your shot answer the questions I had in mind. It is a typical ED achromat with significant star bloat in the violet.

Thanks for replying. After fixing the spacing the stars are not bloated. Ill post a single frame here for others to see

I also purchased one of these scopes and have been very pleased with the results. Using the 0.8 flattner/reducer and stars are great across the entire image. 

Here is an image of the horse head in HA only, used a little color on it for fun but the image details came out fairly well for the scope. 

ASI1600mm pro 

Only 5 images of IC434 in HA at 300 second shots

Hey CoolhandJo,
