�The overall finish of the Quantum-7.4�s seemed to be of a better standard, with all surfaces exuding quality�.A hardwood tripod and U-fork mount, which did the job perfectly, made observations at the zenith very comfortable, with the 45� angled view�.There wasn�t as much trailing off of image quality towards the edges�.Stars really filled the field of view and we felt like we were falling through the sky. This was matched by views of the Moon that were incredibly detailed�.Visually the Quantum-7.4�s seemed to have the edge on all the others�.The sky background appeared to be the darkest of the four on test, with better contrast, so deep-sky objects like faint nebulae stood out slightly better. Indeed the nebula M17 displayed a mottled surface and was a wonderful smudge in the sky�.They were a real delight to use�
