Very happy with this scope. I've used this as main scope with ZWO ASI224MC camera and done DSO Astrophotography. It is quite capable of producing sharp images. My images attached are done by Live Stacking. No flat or dark frames used.

Not yet used but just thought I would confirm that the doublet lens has blackened edges from the factory, but the coarse extension tube is quite reflective when viewed up the barrel with the naked eye (shiny black paint), Also, the pictures show the rings on the 60mm. They have to be set narrower on the 50mm to avoid the thumbscrew

Taking it out of the box the scope itself looks good.

However, when you put the whole thing together and try to mount the telescope tube into the rings it’s a real beast. A beast because it’s difficult to get the rings to be straight and aligned at 90 degree with the base and parallel with each ring. It’s also difficult to get the optical tube level and straight into the rings. The inherent design makes it hard to align the rings in any axis. They need two screws at each base or twist too easily. Poor design is inherent.

I’d recommend using a micrometer caliper to measure the radius of the screws are the same distance from the tube and aligned as well as small spirit level to ensure the optical tube is level. If it’s not aligned and centred it’s useless.

I’d also recommend buying the Zwo 30 mm guide scope which is less expensive than this and is much simpler and better quality.

Sorry folks another unsatisfied review of a not so great ZVBony product.

Looks great in photos but in the flesh will likely let you down and I haven’t even tested the lenses. I gave these guys a chance hoping they lifted their game but sadly it’s all great in the marketing but Zwo beats them every time for quality.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent guide scope for the money
Reviewed in the United States on 6 March 2024
Size Name: 60mmVerified Purchase
50mm fl=190mm version. Excellent guide scope with several very helpful features for the money. Sliding tube focusing for rough positioning of the guide camera, plus helical focus for fine adjustment. All moving parts can be locked with thumb screws. Even includes adjustable holding rings and short mounting bar. Lens is simple achromat with expected color halos, but that seems not to impact PHD-Guide. If one really wants to eliminate the halos put a yellow filter in front of the guiding camera. Works well with imaging scopes to 1000mmm FL.

This scope is clearly made in the same factory as the ones that cost 2-3 times as much. It was super easy to put together and has great visual quality. Great build quality as well. I highly recommend it as either a guide scope for autoguiding or even as a great little scope/camera lens.

5.0 out of 5 stars You can't beat the value. Sharp optics, great focuser.
Reviewed in the United States on 26 September 2022
Size Name: 60mmVerified Purchase
This finder/guidescope is an excellent product for the price. The optics are very sharp, and the focuser is excellent. Other reviews state the draw tube part of the focuser is loose, and that is not true in my experience. The rough-focus drawtube is very solid when the adjustment screw is tightened down, and the helical focuser allows extremely precise focusing. Another review stated the focuser doesn't have enough travel to accomodate the popular ASI120 guidecamera, and that is also false. The drawtube allows enough backfocus to easily accomodate my ASI120 without any extension tubes. Buy with confidence, this product is an excellent value. I will be selling a significantly more expensive Orion guidescope that doesn't have enough backfocus to accomodate my ASI120 guiding camera in favor of this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Clear views - solid construction - great price
Reviewed in the United States on 16 December 2021
Size Name: 50mmVerified Purchase
I use this as a finder scope upgrade for my 130mm Newtonian. This is designed for a 1.25" eyepiece (not included), and has no crosshairs (reticle). To gain the crosshair function I added an SVBony sv152 illuminated reticle eyepiece. The 20mm sv152 combined with 240mm focal length sv106, make this a 12x magnification finder scope. It is overkill for most. I wear eyeglasses due to astigmatism and the original 6x30 finder scope was borderline useless.

I read product questions before buying and was aware there are two focusing actions. The tube that is locked in place with set screws moves in and out of the main optical tube for a course focus. It is marked, so you can easily reset it. The helical ring rotates to deliver the fine focus. It delivers a very sharp image. The image is reversed, just as it is in my Newtonian telescope. For terrestrial views an erecting eyepiece may function to deliver a correct image, but I can't attest to that due to not owning that type.

This is solid! It is hefty, too. My equatorial mount, operates different with the weight of this and the sv102 added to the telescope. I may leave this on the current scope, but I also foresee this as something worthy of a transfer to my next telescope upgrade.

I bought this during a hot deal sale, but I was studying it for a few days and was ready to buy it at normal pricing.
