Review: Great guild scope and occasional imaging telescope. - I got this for a guild scope, but it also works great with the Starzona field flattener for a lightweight imaging telescope. I found a 3D printed setup that clamps the scope and holds the mini computer, guild scope, and EAF focuser. There is a lot of backlash with the focuser, and I haven't gotten auto focus to work with this scope yet. There isn't enough backfocus adjustments to use with a star diagonal. I have also used it for electronically assisted astronomy with a camera attached, and with my ASIair for a go-to visual astronomy.
Review: Outstanding, pin point stars for guiding. - Solid high quality, total value, absolute top shelf, light years above the other popular name brands. I've got 4 other guide scopes, the Sky Watcher just made them nearly obsolete with Pin Point stars! My guiding star size got reduced by 3 times, the auto multiple star guide picked out a dozen stars and that's twice as much as my best night with the other 4 guide scopes. I use a ASI 120MM and a ASI 220MM, both had sharp stars to the edge, without optional reducer. My guiding total error dropped dramatically compared to my other 50MM & 30MM scopes! All of the above totally justified the price. The Vixen base and spacer is solid aluminum, but you lose that weight when you attach the finder scope base. Understand that naturally there is some slop in the focus ring, as with most every focus ring, similar to gear back lash, but once you tighten the focus lock screw, it holds! All 5 stars, my only disappointment is I should've purchased a long time ago and not messed with other Z-brand, S-brand or E-brand guide scopes. I rarely write reviews, but this guide scope earned it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Surprisingly good for astrophotography, but tricky to focus
*by D***Y on November 25, 2024*

This little scope is surprisingly good for wide field astrophotography, but the field flattener (optional) is definitely required. I would give it five stars except that the focus mechanism (rather crude helix device) is (wow) not at all smooth turning to get really fine focus. You turn it one way a bit, then to fine focus back you have to turn several times to take up the "slack" in the crude system. You may have to do this back and forth several times to find optimal focus. But for astrophotography (at infinity) I generally only have to do this little struggle one time at the start of the evening. After that, it stays in focus for hours. Except for the tricky focus it is a fine little wide-field astrograph.
