Yes, it produces 30% better resolution compared to standard 114mm scopes. Yes, that is all true. What we forgot to mention is- this simple scope comes with a Single Axis Motor Drive that is makes this scope simple yet more powerful than many computerized scopes. With this motor drive you can compensate for the earth's rotation, making astrophography a breeze.
