That's good to know. I am looking forward to seeing it's result on a higher target soon. This should give me a better indication of it's performance. CS Don
I bought the 60mm last night for 125$ CAD. I hoping to mate out a better guiding scope/camera suitability for my refractor. Any complaints from Don that don't include galaxy season? (hahaha love that video, we all have those days) Dark nights and clear skies!
You can have a guide scope thats too wide for a long main scope. But can a guide scope be too long? Say i wanna use the 40mm svbony guide while shooting wide field like 100mm dslr lens?
@@NpXAutobot I have previously used my SCT with an off axis guider 2350mm for my guide scope when using my 240mm SkyWatcher as my main imaging scope . No probs. CS Don
Hi Don . Good timing as I've been looking at the SVBony Guide Scopes for a little while now too . Was there any reason you chose the 50mm over their 60mm ? Cheers ./SRK
Hi Scott. In hindsight, I probably should have gone with the 60mm. I mistook the overall length of the 50mm for the focal length, 240mm. As it turned out it was only 190mm focal length. It works well enough for me. CS Don
I have Ben using this on my Esprit 100 for quite a while now and have no complaints.

LOL. No complaints so far. However I should have purchased the 60mm version for myself.

What's a good HFD for this guide scope? Thanks for the vid, will try aligning mine this evening.
