Is anyone using this scope for AP? I did a search and couldn't get a single hit.

EON, the same as SW Equinox range? If yes, and I do believe they are the same scope then my optics on a SW120ED pro are identical.....and fine for imaging.
Go to stargazerslounge.com, people have images taken with these scopes posted there.

Don't you wish there were a knob on the TV to turn up the intelligence? There's one marked 'Brightness,' but it doesn't work."

TV is called a "medium" because it is neither rare nor well done.

I like the EON 72mm a lot. Don't know about the EON 120mm, but at the $2000 price point, there's a lot of tried and true scopes to check out I would think. I picked up the EON 72mm new on sale for $350. Not a lot of decent scopes in that price range.
