Hello Dave.. Your dealer is correct in that Takahashi no longe makes the old style reducer and now has the TOA130R which works on the 102/128/152 and of course...
Hi Dave, At the risk of asking the obvious, have you called Texas Nautical Repair? A few months ago I wanted several items that did not seem to be stocked by...
Are there any good instructions anywhere on how to collimate the E160? When I use the collimating eyepiece on my E160 not everything is central and I assume...
Not yet, I didn't see the email yesterday until it was too late too call. Part of my point is that I should be able to go to a web site somewhere and be able...
Dave, You are also correct that Takahashi is making a mistake in not making the FS reducers. Maybe Art can shed light on why it is now "necessary" to buy a...
Lilian, A few tips: * Remove the flattener from the OTA before collimation. * There should be a mark on the Epsilon's diagonal (usually just a black dot) and a...

Lilian, I forgot to mention in the e-mail I sent that, yes, you must remove the corrector lens. And, yes, it just screws in. Best regards, Tim Kearsley ... ...

Dave, If your gonna do ccd imaging in the chip size close to the SBIG ST10 range, get the Astro Physics .67x reducer. At the f8 focal speed of the 102, you'll...
I stand corrected -- just happened across the piece jdaukantas objected to. Definitely not appropriate on this list (and frankly hard to imagine where it...
Glad to see I am not alone in my opinion of the standard bracket. When I spoke to my dealer about it along with the coarse focus they said that was the first...
It looks like a 2.7" reducer. I suspect it would be identical to the previous FS102/128 reducer. I have an FCT100 reducer which appears the same to me and was...

Hello. Should I expect to find vignetting or any kind of distortion at the edge of a 35mm film with the FS-78 + reducer + CA35 + T + film camera? Any help will...
