My first telescope - Omegon 150/750 EQ4
Review by M. C. on 30.12.2015 16:24:19( 4 / 5 )
The telescope was received in good order at the third working day after placing the order. This is exactly as indicated on the website. I used standard UPS and am living in The Netherlands.
Assembling was not too hard, although the manual could be a bit better. Some YouTube instructions were necessary to better explain all features, especially of the mount.
I have not found (yet) the spirit level, which should be somewhere. Also there is no DVD "Eyes on the Sky", which is indicated to be included on the website.
I bought the EQ4 mount instead of the EQ3 in order to have the most stable base. However I am a bit surprised about the amount of flexibility that this mount still has. Especially there is little resistance against torsion of the base plate. In my opinion this is caused be the fact that each main leg of the tripod is constructed out of two aluminium profiles instead of one. I do hope / expect that this is not going to cause problems. If so I am thinking of strengthening the legs by means of some doubler plate glued / rivotted on the original legs, it should be easy.
Anyway, Astroshop perfectly delivered what they promised. Now I am waiting for some clear evening skies to come...
