If I sell the TOA-150 and the TOA-130, I might be able to purchase the TOA-180. F.Y.I. Art will be at NEAF and so will some reps/designers from Takahashi! Now...
Hi Mike, I doubt $14K (TOA-130 + TOA-150) will get you a TOA-180. Remember as aperture goes up, produced quantities drop quickly. Look at what it cost to go...

I'm in the position of deciding between an AP 900GTO or the Tak EM-400 mount. I'll be carrying a TOA 130, guidescope and STV in some sort of configuration...
- Hello, If you are going to travel, Tak mounts are very easy to set up and start to work, itīs polar scope is excellent. Thatīs my experience with Em200 and...

Dick -- I think it basically comes down to handbox vs. polar alignment. The AP has a large advantage with its handbox; the Tak has an advantage with its more...
Stef, I don't have the exact number in front of me but I did measure my CAA a while back for a different project. I seem to recall that it took up a little...
My Moonlite prototype for the FS128 has headed back to Moonlite for some fixer-uppin'. It turns out that the threads on the Tak Otas have a fair amount of ...
Hey there, Jeff. Just make sure that combo results in precisely the correct spacing. The reducer has +/- 0.2mm tolerance. I had Ashley at Precise Parts do...
Hi Derek, I appreciate it. An exact number would be really helpful since then I can calculate the size spacer I might need custom made to fit my configuration....
The reason I love my EM200 and chose it over for example a Losmandy Gemini was the polar scope. I can be setup and ready to image in about 2 mins with amazing...
Hi Dick, Just thought I'd say that you may want to add the MI-250 to your list. The Gemini controller is very robust these days. Also, with the side-mounted...
I'm not sure why the EM400 polar scope is superior to the AP's but I'll take folks' word for it if it is. If you're into go-to the main thing to consider is...

No! And thanks for bringing it up. :) I heard late April. I'd be surpised if any end user actually has one before May. I've been waiting for mine for 15...

Greg, I'm going to trim your post off, but thanks for the thoughts. I had reason to think about the longevity of the company backing the mounts today, because...
