Télescope réfracteur Svbony SV48P 90 mm F5.5 - F9341A

Beautiful views of the Pleiades and the double cluster. Much less chromatic aberration than I expected: none on Saturn and only a slightly yellow tinge at the edge of Jupiter near opposition at high magnification. I had no problem seeing the belts and zones on the planet and the 4 moons around it. The coarse focuser was a bit stiff but a little lithium grease on the brass rack and slightly loosening the 4 2.5mm Allen screws solved that issue. The fine focus was always buttery smooth. If you want a quality achromatic refractor that is easy to move to your viewing site and provides decent views and do not want to pay thousands of dollars for an apochromatic refractor of this size, this is the scope to get and Telescopes Canada is the place to get it if you want excellent customer service.

This is an outstanding instrument. It looks good, it's got heft, and is solidly built. The dual-speed focuser works perfectly and was a revelation to me as I've never used one. Some have reported problems with the focuser, but I had no problems with mine and no special adjustments were required.

It's a short focus refractor, which is a design prone to chromatic aberration (CA) on bright objects, so I bought it knowing it is best suited for wide field viewing and not so much for planets and the Moon,

I just had it out for its "first light" last night. I spent time with the Moon, Saturn, Jupiter, the Pleiades, the Hyades, and the Alpha Persei cluster. CA was there for the Moon but more or less controlled, not evident at all on Saturn, but quite evident on Jupiter where surface features could not be seen. This was expected. Where it *is* expected to perform well it truly shines - all but the brightest stars are sharp pinpoints of light and open clusters are spectacular. Loved the view of the Pleiades though this 'scope. I live in a city but under dark skies this telescope will excel when viewing extended objects.

This telescope provides excellent value - probably the best deal around at the price I paid.

Telescopes Canada were easy to deal with and shipping was next day to my location. So no complaints there.

Too bad you have a short and bad return policy. never buy anything from you

I love svbony telescop, real Nice for deepsky pics👍👍
