Hello, I wonder if this make any sense to use CCD with 5 micron pixel size with this astrograph assuming very good seeing. If not what CCD pixel size at...
I am not sure if this really is what you are asking but: You are not going to get Nyquist undersampled stars at the short FL of an FSQ, not even with 5 micron...
Hello Everyone, Its been a while since I posted any new photos for consideration. Namely because the weather has been crappy at Pismo Beach. Fog, Fog and did I...
Does the EM400 mount use the same saddle plate as an EM200? are the mounting screw distances the same? I want to use a Losmandy or Cassidy D style saddle plate...
I don't think so. I am pretty sure the EM-400 uses the NJP/EM-500 bolt hole pattern. But all you need is a band adapter to go from the 4 hole mounting to the...
No the EM-200 has a two hole base plate, the EM-400 has a four hole base plate. You can get the proper saddle plates from TB technologies in Miami or Robin...
I'm considering buying another Takahashi telescope to complement my FSQ-106EDx. I am very happy with the results I'm getting from my FSQ-106EDx but I want...
When I say that the FCR-300 Focal Ratio of F8.0 matches my FSQ-106 I mean when the FSQ-106 has it's Extender attached. Otherwise the FSQ-106 is normally F5.0....
I'm simplifying things and ignoring issues such as t-stops and the issues of obstruction and mirror surface errors but the following should get you where you...
What you would probably want for your EM-400 is our BT Technologies P/N TakSad-01. It is designed especially for your mount and is very robust and light...
Greg Bradley recently posted a very nice M45 done with his BRC and Roth Ritter did a very nice M45 with his FSQ last year. Here is M45 done with a TOA-150, in...
Don't forget that the EM-400 has the Takahashi two hole and four hole patterns. Art Ciampi ... very ... in ... hole ... technologies ... same ... have...
For the case of the Mewlon 250 (not the S version)'s saddle plate, can it be placed directly on the EM-400, or does it still need the "4-hole to 2-hole" ...
Hi John, I noticed that someone else suggested the Mewlon 250. This is what I have. I got it with an eye to being able to do planetary work and still having...
I will be putting my FS-128 and FS-78 up for sale and would like to offer both to the group first. The FS-128 has superb optics and is in very fine mechanical...
During last new moon I took 38 frames of 10 minutes each with my Tak FS60C and my old Canon Rebel 300D with the Baader filter IR cut The photo is visible on ...
Hello, I have a plan to buy a short focal length refractor for astrophotography. Has anyone try Baby Q or FSQ 85ED yet? Please share your comment. I'm looking...
I see an Baby FSQ for sale on AM. $2600 ~ used. I've thought about that and just cannot choke down that kind of money for a that size of scope. I think I...
There are some images taken with the Baby Q, which is a flat field astrograph out of the box and can be reduers to f/3.8. At prime focus there is 20mm of back...
Yes, 200mm. Art ... From: Filipe Dias To: UncensoredTakGroup@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, October 06, 2008 10:07 AM Subject: Re: [UncensoredTakGroup] Re: Has...
Are you certain of this Art. I don't see a review under the refractors section or am I just missing it? I am most interested in this telescope. Clear skies, ...
