Which of these products are you most excited to see a full review on? 🤔💭 There are certainly some curious astronomy products available on websites like Aliexpress. The second I get a few clear nights, I'll be posting more videos and pictures captured with this gear, so stay tuned and clear skies! 😁🙏🏼✨✨
the hac125 ,in my opinion is more suitable for live viewing (EAA) , just to restrictive to go mono/filters and larger camera , i'd rather go for normal refractor f4, 250mm for imaging
Man, this is awesome equipment!🎉🎉🎉 We’re eagerly looking forward to more tests of everything you ordered! What's the diameter of the central obstruction on the reflector and the diameter of the astro camera?
Have you had a chance to do more testing with the HAC 125? Mine should be with me in a couple of weeks, but I am interested in seeing your take on it. I plan to use mine primarily for asteroids/NEOs.
It's good to see some competition for the ASIair for those of us that like to use, or can't afford to replace our, non ZWO gear. I do have an ASIair mini, and I love using it, but I can't use it with my Altair Cameras or non ZWO focusers. I have got a Stellarmate Pro which is ok but isn't as straight forward as the ASIair and takes a bit of getting used to. That Honda looks interesting, especially as it can be used with a Star Adventurer GTi, Could be a great little grab and go imaging rig. Looking forward to seeing your reviews.
I wonder how good that celestron telescope will be? It's a nice size, I assume there will be be also a flattener/reducer for it. I saw it on Aliexpress a couple of months ago, also thought it fake. looking forward to your results with it. And that Juwei mount look interesting. I hope you have clear skies (so you can come back soon with follow ups :) )
Gee, all these new astro gear makes my head spin and I'm still playing with 40 years old Vixen SP/SS2K goto mount, Vixen 4" APO refractor, I think it has the CF lens, very sharp, takes ridiculously high powers, like 100x per inch? Now days the gear got much smaller, more portable.
Just bought a used Skywatcher Evolux 62ED and the Celestron looks almost identical (although looks like it says it's a 63ED here, they've managed to squeeze an extra mm out of it maybe? 😅) Very similar price too, although I got mine for a bargain 2nd hand, cheers eBay 👍
As always, a great video, thanks. I am always put off from buying on AliExpress as I never know what import duty/tax will need to be paid - i.e. are the savings really worth it in your experience? The brand new Askar SQA85 f/4.8 Quintuplet Petzval Astrograph looks like a very nice scope on Ali - might be worth a review?
The Honders is a very interesting product indeed. I'll bet that someone will work out an electronic focuser with the minimum of additional obstruction fairly quickly.
I wonder if anyone has the interest as well as smarts whether a camera telephoto lens (such as Sigma) which has motor drive auto focus could be adapted.
They look good I must say: Have you heard about the new DWARF 3 from DWARF LAB ?.. some of the Astro photographs people are getting from this are incredible 😃.. I’ve actually ordered one from Rother Valley Optics, for under £500 it’s a bit of a smasher tbh.
Samyang 135mm f/2 not being available as new after the last ones are sold out will also make getting new light-buckets at f/2 harder in time... But i'll stick with my 135 and mono camera thanks :p
I have the Juwei -14. Bought it through EBay. Please go over more on this mount. There is not much info. It runs great and the 14 is lighter and even lower cost. Not easy to update the firmware if you ever need it.
Hello! I bought my son the celestron Starsense 100. We can see the moon but not much else. Which starter telescope would allow me us to see planets with a budget of $700. We don’t want to take photos, just point and adjust.
I have been looking at getting the Juwei 17 mount and not seen much on it as of yet, have held off purchasing until there have been some more reviews so will be very interested in a review. This may possibly be a Christmas present perhaps.
Hmm, not sure it was a good idea to watch this video, or some of your others after YT suggested them. I think a decades old love of Astronomy, thats slumbered for at least 15 years, has reawakened! Pray for my wallet and sorry for the cloudy nights to come! 😅 Great videos, though!
AliExpress usually make you pay upfront in checkout for import taxes. Everything I have ever bought from them is fully paid for in checkout. So that mount works out at just over £1K when done and dusted. Still massively cheaper than the Sky watcher and ZWO options.
I managed to go out for 30 to 40 minutes before clouds came over but i maneged to beat the cloudsband got couple pics of the orion nebula through the cloud
This telescope is beyond cool, however it might be the most impractical and limiting telescopes on the market lol. It's the same old story from RASA telescopes or Hyperstars, but at least those models allow larger obstructions to be installed
Although none of the equipment reviewed is of interest to me, being mainly a visual observer, they will no doubt appeal to people who like gadgets and imaging. I like my Istar 150mm f8 refractor and 102mm f11 starwave refractors for visual.
Train yourself to keep your hands still while speaking and showing us something in your hand. I did it when I was teaching. You can to! In fact, eliminating the orchestra conductor motions to go with your words would be a great step. Does anyone on 8 out of 10 cats do that? Checking Ali Express now. Subscribed and hope to hear about that mount. Cheers.

Definitely interested in the HAC125.
Edit: oops - just ordered a HAC125...
Edit: oops - just ordered an Astro Station...
Cat chasing the dog, lol!
Loving the constant uploads😊
Were killing our wallets with this one 🗣️🗣️🗣️
I know you from discord lol
We failing english grammar with this one 🗣🗣🗣
@@Prashant-vp2lo my first language isn't english ok 😭🙏
Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together, Celestron releasing a small refractor.. MASS HYSTERIA!
You’re my favorite TH-camr and you made me want to get my first telescope
same bruh
same :DDD got mine last month
@@jeanrossi1145which one?
@@Prashant-vp2lo just a cheap 3 inch reflector, but I love it
I feel like ZWO is like apple but for the astrophotography world
This video literally shows how you're paying double for the brand name when the actual parts cost way less

Clear skies mate can’t wait to see what you show us with that gear!
Finally someone got the Juwei mount! Also, the Astro station link in the description is the same as the Skywatcher telescope link.
been loving the upload schedule
Man, this is awesome equipment!🎉🎉🎉
We’re eagerly looking forward to more tests of everything you ordered!

Hi Damon, could you make a video on how you edit the space photos?
The link from the Astro station open the hac 125 from skywatcher can you fix that?
I’ve been thinking on the juwei also, hope it does well
You have come along way with gear and video quality good job!
A great vid as always, best astronomy youtuber, uploads frequently AND doesn't fail to entertain
Your Touptek astro station link takes you to the Skywatcher telescope.
I would look forward to a summary and a final assessment🤗🙏👍
Can't wait to learn more about the HAC125. The way you use it is very enticing. Are you doing a review of it, using it in video mode later?
Nice!! Weight of celestron 63ed?
Thaks for the video ! The link of the Astro Stion is the same of the Sky watcher telescope

The Refractor is the best looking of the lot. Love the RASA colors.
Is the Sky Watcher f/2 is better than C-8 Fastar, which can be used in f/2 also?
Later has lot more light gathering, I think?
🤔🤔😎😎
I've been eyeing that celestron refractor for a while
Juwei 14 ....is it a good mount,is comparable to AM3 ? Thanks
I just saw these products on AliExpress, and wondered what they are ;)
Please make full reviews starting with the scopes!
Please make a video about the HAC125.

I couldn’t stop admiring that telescope, the aesthetics, the form factor.
Please do review HAC125/Star Adrenturer GTi ! I'm deeply interested in this conf
hello damon, juwei products are incredible however, they cost about 400-500 usd in china.
Hi Damon. More videos, I loved this one. More on that Mirror Scope 250mm f/2

the AstroStation link is broken its the same as the 1st one
Do you have to pay any import duties etc from China (interested in the Juwie??) Cheers

im from brazil, i love to watch your videos to see your setups and what you can do with it. sorry my bad english.
I’ve seen way worse English from colonisers who only speak one language and they’re not even good at that. 👍🏽
Have you got a link for the astro station please. Description link not working . Cheers.

I've had an astro station on order since July & it still hasn't arrived yet 😞
I feel your pain, I live in holland and maybe 10 nights a year are good for good pictures
Any update on the Juwei 17 and how it's working yet?
I have the Juwei -14. Bought it through EBay. Please go over more on this mount. There is not much info. It runs great and the 14 is lighter and even lower cost. Not easy to update the firmware if you ever need it.
why do they lock the asi air, wouldn't they sell more of them without binding it to only zwo products?

Search Proxisky mounts. They are really good for the price
HOW DID HE KNOW ABOUT THE MY HOUSE BEING CLOUDY!!
You put the celestron out there without any details / like focal ratio or focal length.
Still a good video.
The link to the astrostation points to the hec125
isn't the celestron refractor just a rebrand?
Hmm, not sure it was a good idea to watch this video, or some of your others after YT suggested them.
I think a decades old love of Astronomy, thats slumbered for at least 15 years, has reawakened!
Pray for my wallet and sorry for the cloudy nights to come! 😅
Great videos, though!
Great video. Could you tell me, did customs sting you for the gear from AliExpress?

Your Astrostation link is wrong
I like the grass in your back yard man. Why don't you do a TH-cam video on that.
This telescope is beyond cool, however it might be the most impractical and limiting telescopes on the market lol. It's the same old story from RASA telescopes or Hyperstars, but at least those models allow larger obstructions to be installed
I plan on using mine (when it arrives) for asteroid/neo's searches, and possibly for EAA.
Wow, why do the UK have such restrictions on aperture and sensor size on amateur astronomy instruments?
Im not sure what you are referring to - there aren't any such restrictions
hi
how does one even get there hands on products that arent even out yet😭
Aliexpress
It's always the ginger cats.
wooah
Biggest problem I see is taking flats with the Hac125 with that nose sticking out

Bad weather...? my dude, when will this grey overcast stuff go away? :/
Out of curiosity.....Have you ever been clobbered for import/tax using Aliexpress?
Yoooo
I just cant see who the 125 is for. A c6 with hyper star are far better
No
Lol
I was expecting Hubble. Disappointed.

Great video ruined by lazy, click bait title. I only saw it due to auto-play in the algorithm. But come on dude, do better.
cat bros, not like this
