Pier 19

Telescope

The FSQ-85edx astrograph needs little introduction and this one is coupled with Takahashi's latest generation reducer, so has tiny spot sizes delivery stars like grains of sand. At 330mm FL this is the perfect telescope for big nebular, larger galaxies and clusters.

Camera

Player One camera may look similar to all the other Chinese cameras on the market but after a few years of testing we assure you they are far from it, lower noise, less banding and a global shutter not to mention significantly higher build quality and attention to detail. All this stands the Poseidon head and shoulder above its contemporaries in our humble opinion.

When coupled with Antlia's 7nm filters it becomes a great match as you have zero off band shifting reducing transmissions due to the scopes inherent speed.
