A new review from Ed Ting of the 130GTX

I can't say the smell of the foam made any impression on me.  I do admit the thunk when stuff from the focuser gives me a smile.

Great review. I agree with Ed, it's a fantastic telescope!

Alex,

Don't ding the Ting. 

I also love that fresh AP smell.  I am also on board with the thunk although I don't make it a habit of thuncking so hard like he does.

I like his reviews in general.

Thanks for the heads up on the video. I always like Ed's reviews.

Yes, the "thunk" of precision :)

I'm really lucky to have the 130GT and the Stowaway. Waiting with bated breath to see if I'll be lucky enough to get the 110GTX :)

Looks like a QTCC not the flattener in the video. 

I do love my 130. It's a forever scope for sure. Makes me want to be laid to rest with it in a roll off roof mausoleum, although a better use would be the next generation of astronomer...

Good catch!

I love the smell of my AP carrying case in the morning.
