Airy Disk 85/510 Refractor

SvBony SV555 Tested and Reviewed

Kevin Galka
Svbony appeared rather suddenly in the astronomy scene a few years ago with well-built scopes at an affordable price, putting to sleep the old adage that a decent refractor must cost a lot of money. One of their more recent scopes has seen them move towards dedicated imaging with their first astrograph/camera lens… the SV555.

Kevin Galka
