Your new bad telescopes

Marcolone

I am your customer, i have six of your astronomy camera and i very satisfy. I do not undestand how your company can sell the bad telescopes of the Sharpstar. I think that this not will be good for you. Best regards Marco

Hello Marco,

Honestly, I'm one the first to criticize when it is justified (such as camera design for exemple, which you actually praise) and on the contrary the PHQ series of Askar are quite well-corrected scope and difficult to be beaten on the price/quality ratio.

Of course these are not Takahashi or Astrophysics, but keep in mind the 4/5x higher price for the same diameter (expect 10K€ for the last AP 110GTX + reducer when the 107PHQ is less than 3K and here with the zwo rebranding, reducer included).

Marcolone This is a baseless statement. What evidence do you have to support your claim? It would be miserable selling a manufactured product because it would mean having to deal with subjectivity of people like you.
On a side note I use a sharpstar apo and it performs exceptionally well. Sorry but at this point you are just being a troll

As a customer you have the choice where to spend your money. So if ZWO's scopes are not for you, there are other options.

Personally I have used Askar brand scopes (another Sharpstar brand) and found them to work without issues.

I had a sharpstar 140ph, collimation problems, high CA and high SA. Then Askar FRA 600 a lemon, poor focuser and high CA. Last try ASKAR 107phq another lemon. And if someone likes to have a lot of CA then you have found the right product, after all all these telescopes use low cost glasses, Fpl 51 or similar.
