Questions answered
Before you choose
Should I buy EINSTAR or Sermoon P1?
Choose EINSTAR when lower recorded price guide matters most. Choose Sermoon P1 when standalone workflow is the priority.
Does the lower accuracy number guarantee a better scan?
No. Optical mode, object surface, tracking, calibration and scan technique can matter more than a best-case single-frame number.
