I'm considering purchase of one of these telescopes for visual use only, and I would like to hear the opinions of current users, especially with respect to how the scope compares optically to others in its aperture range. The other scope I'm considering is the TEC-140.

Please feel free to send me a private message, if you like.

Thank you.

Bill

The NP-127is has a short focal length was idealy made for photography. The TEC 140 would be better at f7. I recommend a good quality used, long focal length refractor like an AP Star12 ED (120mm f8.35), you'll have money left over.

Regards,

Allen
