SVBONY SV503 Telescope ED 80mm F7 Doublet Refractor OTA for Exceptional Viewing and Astrophotography

It's a solid scope. Make sure you buy it with the field flattener or your edges will be skewed. My stars aren't perfect but that's my fault, plus bad tracking. The focuser is very easy to use, and very sturdy. It comes with a dovetail and a 1/4-20 mount thread so you can use this on a startracker like SkyGuider or Star Adventurer. I do not regret this purchase, for an entry level scope, it's great. Also, to the individual claiming this scope has a purple fringe.... it does NOT. Your camera is producing amp glow, getting warm. I have not experienced this issue at all.

+ Very nicely made, appreciate the built-in rotator with the tightening screws. I don't see this on telescopes with much higher price tag, it's usually an add-on accessory. + Feels sturdy, although I did go through all the screws to make sure they are all tight, a few was a bit loose. + The Focuser is like butter, very nicely made, I like the bottom knurled-screw to loosen or tighten the focuser. + The dew shield is nice and tight, I had issues with other brands, that the dew shield slides back down too easily. This has just the right amount of tightness. +Lens is great! (See images) I don't see much chromatic aberration at all. Those who don't know what that is, that lens in the scopes bend the light to focus into your eyepiece and lesser quality lens tend to create this rainbow color halo around stars and shiny objects, because the lights in the spectrum don't exactly focus into a tight spot. This is usually corrected with another piece of lens (those scopes called apochromatic triplet telescopes) , but so is the price go up, way up. For this telescope with only a doublet lens, it's doing fantastic!

enfocador suave, liviano, Calidad y precio!

Amazing and good good price

Excellent optical and mechanical quality, had a chance to use it (coupled to a Canon EOS T6i camera) on Orion M42, the Horsehead nebula and the Rosette nebula. Truly outstanding for the price.

Great starter telescope for someone wanting and all around use telescope for both viewing and Astrophotography. I have owned my 503 ED80 for about a year and have used it many time in my observatory. Excellent views of the planets,Moon,Sun and many of the Messier Objects. I compared it to my Meade LX85 R5 f/5.8 Refractor and didn't see a lot of difference other than the larger aperture scope was brighter. The 503 ED80 has very little Chromatic Aberration common in most Doublet Refractors. It is nearly un noticeable using a Baader Fringe Killer Filter. I have several other telescopes and I highly recommend this for anyone on a budget or to add to your telescope collection. They have a full line of Telescopes and accessories at very good prices and pretty good quality items. I own sever acc

This is a great refractor for a great price! I'm an astro-photographer and I've had mine for almost two months. I still get excited about using it! The quality is comparable to the best on the market. The look is almost identical to that of the Williams Optics Zenithstar. Pictures don't do it justice. You can feel the quality in your hands. From the eggshell finish to the gold accents. Solid body, check. Extendable dew shield, check. Tight dual focuser, check. Quality FPL-51 glass, check. Portability, check. This quality at this price, well, worth every penny.
