A Good Guide Scope
I use this as my guide scope along with a camera. The focal length is more than your Verage 40mm scope and this helps in tracking. The price is not so high as to discourage the purchase. I find it was a good investment with my other SVbony accessories.
Great
The quality of the guide scope is excellent for the price. Sold identically on other sites at twice the price here.
Precise focusing is achieved using the soft focusing wheel. No trouble adjusting the alignment with a telescope, precise guidance
Nothing to complain about and therefore unbeatable value for money.
Nice little finder scope
Fit’s well on my 80mm SVBONG refractor. Focusing with a spin ring takes a little effort, but it gives a nice clear focus. The Red lock down ring holes the focus very well.
Does the job very well
I've been using the SV106 for about 6 months now. Couldn't be happier. The scope is mounted on a Meade LX200 ACF SCT 10" aperture scope. An ASI120mm mini guide camera is coupled to the SV106. My guiding is typically 0.5" to 1.0" with a 35lb package on a SkyWatcher EQ6-Ri Pro. Cant ask for better than that.
Excellent guide scope
I'm using this guide scope with az ASI120mm-mini paired with an SV503 80ED telescope. It has excellent materials and image quality, easy to focus and easy to use.
It has a focus fixing screw and I never had to refocus since my first use.
what weight ?
Hi, may i know what is its weight, completely?
thanks
a guide scope with the heart of a larger telescope
I bought the SV106 guide scope to match up with my SV305PRO guide cam ... they work well together and what more you cam image just with the sv106 ... I will be woking on andromeda galaxy and pleiades star cluster as my skywatcher telescopes don't get the wider field of view in.
The 2 part helical focuser is smooth and the 35mm slider will accommodate a camera or eyepiece.
The helical ( twist ) section adds another 10mm of fine tuning travel. Fantastic optics and a beautiful matt black finish give this scope a finishing touch, mounted in the well made supplied guide rings with nylon ended adjustment screws give the sv106 a doled mounted feel once its connected to the supplied dovetail mount... one very happy stargazer.... thanks for reading my review ( scivideos)
