So far so good ! Pleased.

So I just got this scope, have seen all kinds of mixed reviews, guess I got lucky, first off nothing was loose. actually one of the rings was super tight but got it off and removed all the packaging. The focuser is very solid, no slop, no slippage I did put some 'baffle' along the two edges that take the curvature just in case of light leak. There is definitely light leak at the primary, I'll shroud that for sure. Checking collimation it was almost perfect ! very small adjustment and done. I'll be testing it soon with the asi294 and the Antlia ALP-T Ha, Oiii.

Quattro 150P Build Quality

I have bought several pieces of my Astrophotography equipment from Telescopes Canada and I have to let you know that I was shocked and disappointed with the build quality on the 150P. I know Telescopes Canada didn't build it but I expected it to be a precision piece of optical equipment and you can see from across the room that the spotting/guide scope mount is visible mounted crooked on the telescope. Clearly out of alignment by 20-30 degrees. I wish I could attach a picture to this review to show you what I'm talking about.

Description

Highlights

  • 150mm aperture, 600mm focal length
  • Fast f/4 focal ratio
  • Parabolic borosilicate mirrors utilizing Sky-Watcher's proprietary Radiant ™ Aluminum Quartz (RAQ™) coatings designed for imaging with 94% reflectivity
  • 11:1, dual-speed, 2-inch Crayford-style focuser
  • Oversized secondary mirror produces greater illumination for full-frame DSLR and CCD cameras
  • Primary and secondary mirrors are both collimatable
  • Included coma corrector is designed to match the 600mm focal length, ideal for APS-C sensors and smaller
  • Imaging focal ratio with included coma corrector/reducer is f/3.45, focal length is 518mm
  • Includes tube rings, mounting plate, eyepiece adapters, 70° Ultra Wide 22mm eyepiece, coma corrector/reducer, and a 6x30 finderscope

The Quattro imaging Newtonian is an affordable, large aperture astrograph, ideal for users searching for a fast-imaging system that will work for both astrophotography and visual astronomy. Boasting a swift f/4 focal ratio, this astrograph can produce an exposure 6x faster than the average 8-inch f/10 Schmidt Cassegrain telescope (or 8.4x faster with the included coma corrector/reducer). Although designed as an imaging optical tube, these Newtonians also produce bright and detailed viewing for visual astronomy.

Like all Sky-Watcher reflectors, the Quattro Imaging Newtonian features borosilicate mirrors coated with Sky-Watcher's proprietary Radiant ™ Aluminum Quartz (RAQ™) coatings, producing 94% reflectivity. The tube is constructed with rolled steel, then coated with Sky-Watcher's signature glossy metal-flake Black Diamond finish. The OTA uses an oversized secondary mirror providing greater illumination for DSLRs and CCDs using full-frame sensors, and an included coma corrector/reducer for those who want to take their imaging to the next level.

Included with the Quattro Newtonian is a 11:1 dual-speed 2-inch Crayford-style focuser, 1.25 and 2-inch eyepiece adapters, a 6x30 finderscope, tube rings, V-style dovetail plate, a 70° Ultra Wide 22mm eyepiece, and coma corrector/reducer.
