Great scope very versitle
By Mark R. Zdziarski
I have been a fan of Orion's scopes for a long time. When these Chinese made scopes come off the production line, they are either made very well, or they are a lemon. Thankfully Orion has a nice return policy. This is my second svp 8. The first one was a defect. I find the Orion design of better quality than the sky watcher 8 and the Celestron c8n, with adjustment knobs on the primary instead of screws. There is also a place for mounting a cooling fan in back as well. The Orion's mirror is also slightly larger at 203 mm vs the Celestron / sky watcher 's 200 mm. 29 % secondary obstruction buries the views from any sct telescope! I've gone back to Newtonian design from sct's for their superior views.
