Page 1 of 2 - Astro-Tech AT60ED - posted in Beginning Deep Sky Imaging: Hi folks, curious on peoples take on this scope. 8 vs. Orion 2” 38mm superwide eyepiece. AT60ED vs. I already have a Skywatcher ED100 that Im very fond of, but a smaller scope for both grab-and-go visual use and wider-field imaging sounds appealing. The 72 is half the price for only 10% less aperture.
