Esprit 120ED Review in SkyNews

“I’m pleased to report that the Esprit 120 really performed!”
-
“I compared its performance with high-end Officina Stellare and Astro-Physics 105mm and 130mm Apos employing similar premium glass. Even at high magnification with a 3mm eyepiece, star images appeared just as sharp,aberration-free and colourless as the best. I was Impressed.”
-
“it exhibited none of the aberration oddities I’ve seen in some test telescopes, effects created by cold temperatures pinching optics.”
-
“…the Esprit 120’s performance matches the best in the business at a competitive price…”
-
“Sky-Watcher’s Esprit refractors become very attractive options for anyone looking for the best.”
Alan Dyer of SkyNews has recently published a review on our Sky-Watcher Esprit 120ED Super APO Triplet. In the March/ April 2012 issue, he writes, “With the field flattener, even when using a DSLR camera with a full frame (24mm x 36mm) sensor, star images were absolutely pinpoint corner to corner, free of any coma, astigmatism or lateral color dispersion. This matched or surpassed the effectiveness of other telescope/field flattener combinations I\'ve used. In short, the Esprit provided first-class optical performance visually and photographically.”
Sky-Watcher Esprit 120ED has performed beautifully compared with the other telescopes of its class, offering a competitive price for the utmost quality. The three-inch focuser is exceptional as well. “The focuser provides a generous 101 millimeters of travel, more than enough to accommodate every eyepiece I tried, from a 31mm Nagler to an 8mm Ethos, two eyepieces with extreme focus travel demands.” Without further ado, read the review for yourself here.
