Why does the secondary rotate when you tighten the locking screw? It’s no longer visible in the viewfinder. How can it work?

Is the corrector removal the same for the carbon fiber and AL versions? I've done my collimation of the fiber tube with the corrector in place.

Tell you what. You send me one of these new 15028HNT-AL scopes, and I'll send you the carbon fiber 15028HNT I have now. Or, you could just send me the AL so I can do a thorough comparison between the two versions :).

what's the brand of eyepiece?

Can't wait to give it a try!

cute accent

I'm really looking forward to this product!

Where can I get one? This is fantastic.

Does ir works with the FRA400?

Where do you get the tilt calculator? Is it separate software?

This is great, Askar. Maybe it's not possible, but...how about merging this one with the backfocus adjuster?

This is awesome!

Is there a version in M68?

I wish tilt calculator is in AsiAir

This is amazing!

Справится даже блондинка! 😀

I just got one and indeed is a great scope. The only issue I have is regarding the space between the scope and the dovetail mounting plate (the same issue mentioned in several reviews of the 71F). In my case after I mounted an electronic autofocuser (EAF) on the scope the dovetail plate cannot be moved to balance the scope on the mount. The solution of course is to install a pair of raiser blocks but I am having a hard time finding them in the appropriate size. I just got one and indeed is a great scope.

How do you determine which one is needed?

No price on the website means this is rediculously over priced for 2 mirrors and a tube ..

Outstanding, won't be cheap but I'm moving away from SCT's and the corrector is built in which is a big plus. Center obstruction much less than RC and is 5 times faster. Carbon tube will probably increase the price by $300 at least. Not really needed for open tube design.

I'm curious to understand why the move was made to aluminum instead of the carbon fiber of the original models. Also, anyone from SharpStar want to come over and tune my 15028HNT so I can actually get a flat frame with good stars corner to corner using a Poseidon-M (IMX571), 36mm EFW and OAG? Had that scope for over a year and have yet to get it to give me good quality stars across the frame. PS, I'm certainly open to testing this new aluminum 130 if you're looking for interested objective third party opinions :)

cool!

That looks awesome. Potential good replacement for my Sharpstar 94EDPH. Please let me test it.

Looks to be an excellent astrograph and I really like the colour.

Fantastic

I just ordered mine today, can't wait. Haven't decided if I need the reducer yet but will run it without first. 😊

hi sharpstar can show full video how to colimate this tube ? thanks

can someone recommend a good laser collimator for the 150HNT?

Who is she?

My next toy. !

Every time I’m ready to buy, another model comes out! 🤣I’m not sure if it’s good or bad-telescopes are long term buys, not monthly upgrades. Maybe give us a breather between releases? Anyone else feeling this?

Oooo fancy

What about the price please…??

やっぱり、来ちゃいましたね😊 最高峰になるのか？FRA600やPleiades111と比べるとどうなのか、気になりますね🤔

"Super Quintuplet Astrogrqph" 😆 Dear Sharpstar, your future videos need some serious quality control. First that horrible AI voice in your SQA85 demo and now a typo ON your telescope renderings? Yikes. This is not the best look. If you ever need help hit me up.

Holly...!!!and I was about to buy the sqa55....I will wait for this instead.!

U.S. price please

If I buy one, will you use the proceeds to pay a professional voice for your next ad?

Please don't use AI voice. It is very robotic and annoying. It does not make me like the lens

Nah, I will pass. If you guys ever come out with a 100/130 combo, capable of taking a 0.6x or at lease 0.7x reducer, I would give you my money with a big smile on my face. 😁

Nah, I will pass. If you guys ever come out with a 100/130 combo, capable of taking a 0.6x reducer they will my money and I will give them a big smile. Another great video though!

How can I use the reducer and ALSO use a 2" filter with a larger camera like the ASI2600MC? Do I need a separate adapter / drawer? Installing the reducer removed the 71F's adapter for the drawer, as it was too small to connect to the camera threads.

This is what I have waited for. I earlier planned to get a 50mm ED APO but suddenly a such model was discontinued and was not possible to find during some year. If this scope gives good color correction up to 80-100x it would be awesome!

What is the part number for the bracket for the Askar 120APO? I can't find it. Thanks.

ED51 or ED53 glass? Nobody seems to be able to tell me. This matters once you get into these focal lengths and prices. Get rid of background music. Very hard to understand. Are you considering carbon fibre? Most of us are getting older.

Is a larger model on the way too?? 600-700 FL

0.7x reducer?

I was 2 minutes early to subscribe before you posted this video!🤯🤯🤯
