SkyView Pro 120mm Refractor
Pros
Sharp clear optics. Heavy and steady mount. Well made.
Cons
It is large and heavy. This discourages me from taking it out more often.
Recommended it?
Yes
I always wanted a refractor. I thought that this would be the ultimate telescope. Well I was not disapointed. I have never seen Jupiter and the moon that clear and with that much detail. I bought their moon filter to get rid of the blue hue which surounds bright objects. This is an acceptable defect of achromatic lenses, which do not correct for the blue spectrum. It is not very objectionable but I just wanted to see what the filter will do. It works great! I do have a 6 inch reflector and a 90mm maksutov to which I am comparing this telescope to. Optically I like the refractor the best. My whole family was awed when we pointed it at Jupiter when it was still daylight. The cloud bands were clearly visible and sharp.
