You know, I forgot how much I enjoy watching proper astronomy channels. Thanks for the video's.

One of the best and most thorough telescope reviews that I have ever seen! Well done - the qualitative AND quantitative analyses are outstanding. As a fellow 151PHQ owner, this review is representative of my experiences with the scope as well. Nicely done and THANK YOU!

Love your extremely high bar for testing equipment, keep it coming :)

Congrats on the thorough optical test and wavefront estmation. Probably the only channel doing that. Keep it up!

Thanks for your very detailed analysis. It was interesting to find out about these refractors.

Awesome video as always!!!

Really excellent and interesting. Adding pieces to the puzzle for my next scope. Thank you!

Alright, Alright.... You got me about halfway through. New sub! I love optical analysis and you're making it understandable for an uneducated id such as myself! 👍👍

The review was so excellent, I think you sold it all out on the site. I wonder how it compares to their new 185apo which I hope they send you to test also. 2 Thumbs up for the video. Thanks.

Great review!! You are more critical of corners than I am...

Great review than you for taking the time to do so.

Simply excellent video.

I am just in awe at this wonderful presentation. Wow, I cannot say enough! Just perfect speech/pace - invaluable thorough review with great information. Learned so much about aberration. I was wondering if you would consider a follow up or maybe in the future about a quantitative/qualitative comparison of actual images taken with the scope, such as tilt, flatness. Again, I would like to really congratulate you on such a great video. Sometimes it is hard to follow because people (without experience) tend to speak way too fast and it makes it hard on the listener to latch on to all the details - you pace is perfect - Just really impressed - THANK YOU SO MUCH for putting this together.

Comparing to the RC was an excellent idea. I'm convinced the spectrograph test is a very good assessment of the CA performance.

Merci pour cette excellente vidéo !

Interesting to see how the testing is performed. I used Agena all the time, I'll use your link next time I buy something.

Excellent

Sometimes I don’t comment on videos but this was actually a very balanced review given people good insight to reflect on. Hope all manufacturers send more to you. Sharpstar Z4 next. 100mm refractor at a fair value for its aperture and 6 lenses. Sharpstar if you’re watching, send him the OTA for review.

Very Geeky. Excellent!
