William Optics FLT98 98mm f/6.3 Triplet Apo Refractor with R&P RotoLock Focuser
Celestial Delights
I optimized my Williams Optics (WO) scope by adding: 1) A set of four WO UWAN eyepieces and the company's red-dot finder. 2) A medium-duty Go-To telescope mount. 3) A counterweight to help balance the scope along the mount's altitude axis. 4) A ...

Sky-Watcher ProED 80 APO Refractor # S11100
Very nice optics, but bad focuser....
Vixen quality optics, in a nicely built ota, but worst focuser i've seen (replaced it with a $400 moonlight). After using this for several months, I am pleased with the glass. It's got a larger brother, 120mm or 100mm. The 100mm at f/9 has got to be ...

William Optics 2013 ZenithStar 71mm f/5.9 Doublet ED Refractor # A-Z71A
Very good small, compact refractor
This refractor is a precision telescope with a great rack and pinion focuser that locks in place. The focuser is very smooth and does not drift. The star images I saw throught it were pin point and with good eyepieces, stars were round to the edge ...

Best Purchase Ever!
I have spent years looking at the night sky through my scopes but this one beats them all. Since the Sun is always changing there is a different view everyday. By changing the pressure in the chamber you can view different aspects of the Sun. It is e...

Explore Scientific AR152 152mm f/6.5 Air-Spaced Doublet Achromat Refractor Telescope
This is one good scope.
I have this scope on a a permanent mount in my shop.
I use this scope all the time for astronomy only. And it works great. Optics are clear and you just can't beat the support you will get from Agena.

Celestron NexStar 6 SE Telescope # 11068
Very happy camper!!
I highly recommend this scope. I love the orange tube. This thing is compact enough to carry around but large enough in aperture to see all the stuff I want to see. I've taken this scope camping a few times and it has performed great. Moon views are ...

Celestron 8" CPC 800 Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescope # 11073-XLT
I heard good things about Agena, reviews
Purchased Nov. 2013 and it's been cloudy and or cold constantly since then. I did attach my nex5n camera and shoot the moon from the garage door and tried a mock allinement which seemed to work ok. This is a very nice scope, shipping was quick and it...

Vixen A70Lf 70mm f/12.9 Refractor Telescope
A good quality small refractor
For the price this is a good step up from the 60mm scopes. It has very good, coated and clear optics. At 900mm focal length you are going to get crisp, color free images. It is much better built than the 'department store' type of telescope, you'll k...

William Optics GT81 81mm f/5.9 Apo Refractor - Gold # A-F81GT
Good photo scope
I have only used the scope for a short time so far, so my experience with it is limited. Also, I use a modest price reducer/flattener so I won't dwell on optical performance which is at least very good. The scope is extremely solid and well built. ...

Meade / Coronado 40mm 0.5A PST - Double Stack H-Alpha Solar Telescope
Solar views are amazing through the PST!
I have had the Meade Coronado PST with the SolarMax 40mm external Etalon (Double Stack) for just over two months. The Coronado PST is an excellent entry level solar telescope. The 20mm eyepiece that comes with the PST is okay but you will most like...

Celestron NexStar 6 SE Telescope # 11068
Another great Celestron product, thanks Agena!
I have a large observatory scope, but wanted a "go to" to find new, more challenging objects. And find them more quickly! I've also become involved with an astronomy club, so portability was important. This scope fits the bill perfectly. Alignment i...

I bought this William Optics ZenithStar 71 after carefully considering many alternatives. This is my first experience with a quality refractor telescope and I must say it has left me wanting more! More aperture, more, more, more! The tube came packa...

William Optics GT102 102mm f/6.9 Apo Refractor # A-F102GT
GT 102 exceeding expectations
Sweet 3 element APO. Visibly sharper with no detectable CA in a comparison with a stellarvue ED two element. And this was confirmed by avid and experienced amateurs with very expensive glass preferences. No idea how she'll perform in an AP enviro...

William Optics 2013 ZenithStar 71mm f/5.9 Doublet ED Refractor # A-Z71A
Outstanding OTA
Since my purchase of this scope, it has gotten more use than the other scopes I have (10" f4.7, 6" f/8, 5" f/7.7 newts and a ES AR-127 refractor). Mainly due to its portability and outstanding optics. I have not delved into AP yet, but for binoviewin...

Zenith Star 71mm f/5.9 Doublet ED 2013
Excellent for portability, stargazing, and astrophotography, providing a widefield view. Solid built with excellent components. Focuser appears to be very strong and accurate, but does give more resistance than a standard crayford focuser. Well Plea...

Celestron NexStar 6 SE Telescope # 11068
Great service selling a great scope.
The 6SE is a great scope. Dealing with Agena has been great. I have dealt with them in the past and my experience then was just as good. Free shipping and a sale price was all it took.
