Hi CN'ers - I am in need of feedback.

 

I have been offered an Epsilon 160 "Classic" (as in the old non-ED) version at a VERY reasonable price.

Being fully aware of the newer 160ED version and the reasons for that version being developed.

 

Optically it is in GREAT shape - and YES it does include the corrector.

 

I have looked at Dave Trotts  youtube video about his classical/non-ED Epsilon 130

https://youtu.be/AD3...uUBIPZ_Sqrpy0hQ - and it it looks as if it is actually a really capable scope, also for digital cameras.

 

Question:

 

Does anyone have first hand experience with using a classic/non-ED Epsilon for digital astrophotography?

 

 

Clear skies!
