Hi Gang I,m thinking of getting a Intes Micro Alter 503. Does anyone have one or viewed thru one and can tell me what the optics are like. How would it match up against a G5 OTA.
Thanks, Dave

I would agree with Jim. I don't have a 503, but do own an MN56, same company same size scope (wider field, less portable). It's optics are very sharp indeed. Mine came trough with 1/6.7 ptv (ie. the biggest error in the system, but a 96.3% strehl ratio which says more about the overall smoothness of the system). Those values are for the whole system: corrector plate, primary and secondary combined, not just the primary.
