In the case of the Astro-Tech AT130EDT, the fishtail effect starts to get bad roughly at 4,200 Å. The really odd part is that the SV60EDS and AT65EDQ look as if they came out of the same factory! Same focuser. The choice of a bigger frac is for deeper targets over my existing 500mm Esprit100ed. 8x reducer. I haven't heard a single bad thing about the Astro-Tech 130, but I've heard a few horror stories about ES. I am testing the new Astro-Tech AT130-EDT and here are some of my results.
