  • Alright guys so this is the 4th zoom eyepiece that I'm reviewing but the 3rd that I would say should be an option for your first serious telescope eyepiece!
    What makes the SVBONY 7-21mm Zoom special? It's the small size! Check out the video for all the details on how it performs optically!

    Just a message of support and congratulations on hitting the 2000 subscribers.
    Great content, always interesting and always helpful. Thanks for doing what you do, and a pleasure communicating with you from time to time.
    We find it particularly interesting as you often lean towards visual rather than photographic. When we photograph, we just use the phone adapter…… though sometimes that’s a struggle to line up. Do you find the same?
    No need to enter me in the draw, very happy for someone else to get it, and wish you all the best 👍👍

      Yup I'm more of a visual guy. I do enjoy astrophotography and EAA to but making content about it is not a real priority for me as there is just SOOOO much of it already here on youtube(an in reality the people that make it probably know way more about it than me anyhow).

    Hello.. I am in the process of grinding a 300 mm mirror with a focal length of 1850, but I also have two other telescopes that I use. what would interest me would be what is probably the better decision.. the SV Bony 135 or the 171 Bony, I would like to have at least a teleocular.

    I got the Celestron zoom. It is so hard to turn the zoom. My eyepiece screws will not hold it in place and it just turns without zooming. I am sending it back tomorrow. Is the SVBONY 8-24mm Zoom easier to turn?

    Hey Vlad. I’m loving the zoom reviews. I was wandering if you could rate the zooms you have reviewed in order. Like 1 to 4 ( I think you’ve done 4 ). Im guessing the baader would be number 1, but I would like to know how you think the others stack up. Thanks.

    • @AVTAstro
      @AVTAstro  2 роки тому +1

      Hi, yea the Baader is #1! After that I would choose the Svbony 8-24mm. The Celestron 8-24 and Svbony 7-21 are about tied(both kind of dim) and I would really choose what physical and zoom range you prefer. Hope this helps, Vlad.

Also rolled the dice on their newly released Achromat 90mm f5.5 marketed as a beginner scope. It impressed my newbie eyes..... keep going to 10k subs. Enjoying the content! Just subbed!
