I am torn between those two scopes and can't decide :-(
They are about the same price if you count the additional field flattener and small Riccardi reducer for the Esprit and the dedicated f/3.9 reducer for the ASKAR (it already has a flattener built in). The Esprit is tested and proven to work whereas the ASKAR has yet to stand the test of time. There is a waiting time for the ESPRIT right now but the ASKAR is in stock (at least here in Germany from TS).
My cameras will be APS-C and 4/3" so not too big sensors.
What telescope would you choose?
