Can you put their rack and pinion focused on this scope, I think it’s the $150 one?
I have looked at the First Light version of this AR127. It has an f/9.4 w/1200mm focal length. My question is how bad would the chromatic abberation be in this scope?

Hi Allan, if i want to do DSO photography with which telescope should i go. Refractor or Reflector (i was considering Skywatcher 150/750 on a EQ5) thanks for your advice
How bad is CA ?
