Sebastien, I have the same set-up as yours, minus the adapter (I got mine made by Precise Parts with the correct metalback distance). Do not shoot M13 and use...
Hi Folks, A recent thread on the Tak Group regarding the Epsilon Series scopes sparked my interest and made me do a search on the sci.astro.amateur news group....
And where did the Soviets get that talent and equipment? From Germany as that country fell at the end of WWII. The US got some spoils as well but just wanted...
Hi: Does it make sense to use a barlow on the TOA-130? If so, how much can one get away with in increasing the effective focal length (x2?). How heavy a price ...
Hi folks, first post to this group. I've just acquired a HEQ5 mount as a semi-portable mount for my Mewlon 210, and i'm trying to figure out the best way to...
Anyone out here in Takkie land using the super reducer and TOA for imaging ? I'd like to see some shots using this combo and STL 11 size chip OR larger ... ...
I've used up to 5x Barlow on my TOA130 on planets with no problems. I've only used the Tak 1.6 extender for deep sky stuff though. No noticeable adverse CCD...
Greg, Mine arrived at TNR April 11th and was sent out to Japan sometime during the following week. I agree with you, Fred and Art were nice enough and I'm sure...
Hi, I am on the waiting list for a FSQ 106 ED but as lately I have been developing some motorized CAA for my TOA 130 as well as for my Mewlon 250S I am...
Hi, I have pushed up my TOA 130 to 4800mm. The only problem is you get a high f number :-) and so the loght gathering is very much and you will have to use...
Is the TOA130R reducer/flattener really a flattener as well as a reducer? I have an FS102/128 F6 reducer which I believe also tends to flatten the image. I...
Hi Rainer, This is not a solution, just a wacky idea.. How about a scope rotator? The simplest type of scope rotator could be a hinged tube holder, but that...
Hi everyone, I just bought a couple month old NJP temma2 2nd hand. It's great to have such a fine mount again. I have question. The roughly 7" in diameter...
Just in case anybody was wondering... The drive box vibration is greatly reduced when using the Temma2 at 24volt versus the older TemmaPC (also at 24 volt)....
Bruce, Sorry I don't have an answer for you. Although I have the TOA 150 and super reducer I am using a small-SXVH9 chip. I am hoping someone will answer...
Howard, I have a 180ed and it is a fantastic wide field astrograph. I use it with my canon 20da mounted on a g11. Galaxies...well here's a wide view of m99...
Hi - jg, Do you mean the TAKometer for US $ 895.00 ? then you still have to add a 4" CAA from Takahashi at a cost of about US $ 250.00. saludos Rainer...
Hi Ben, I don't own a Mewlon 210 but I have a Mewlon 180 as well as the CN212. I mount both these on Losmandy type dovetails albiet thick ones I made myself. ...
Hi Joe, I can't see how anyone can tighten or untighten that "round plate".. What exactly are you doing? If you are tightening the clutch, you are specifying...
Joe, That is an interesting question. I would like the answer too. I just checked my NJP (non-temma) and there is a round cover plate 6-7" in diameter, that...
I image, though not regularly, with an FS-102 and that reducer on film (medium format). I also get loads of vignetting. For 35mm film size, it can be dealt...
I just joined your group, because I am thinking strongly about purchasing a Tak TOA 150 and a Paramount ME mount. I have been looking for a high quality...
Hi, Rainer, the Astrodon TAKometer motorizes the old FSQ CAA taking up no more that 6mm of back focus and is not load-bearing. This link shows some pictures...
