Based on your experience and knowledge, can an esprit100 be used with a daystar quark?
the refractor is an f5.5.
Do i need to mount an ERF?
Grazie

Hi there.

F5.5 is a little fast for a QUark, you will lose detail. You might want to stop it down to 70mm to make it more quark friendly and get more contrast.
