Hi Gordon Actually in case of Taks, even the fluorite series had a good R/IR correction (worsening toward blue, hence the halos around bright stars). TOAs are...
Good information Pawel. Thank you. I have up to this point used a Hutech LPS filter with my M25C but unfortunately they do not list a 50mm, unmounted version...

NJPs I can tear down and reassemble in my sleep. EM-series I've only adjusted the motors. If anyone in South or East Texas has this experience I'd be more...

Hi Gordon This was exactly my experience - images with Hutech IDAS/LPS were quite easy to balance and showed decent color under my suburban skies - well ...
I created this Video for fun to illustrate to local kids what I could see through the Tak TOA130. In addition I am often asked what it would be like to go to...
Hi Pawel. I emailed Ted at Hutech. He could sell me an unmounted IDAS LPS filter. According to Ted, the 52mm mounted filter is 49mm, unmounted. I don't know...
Needing a spare portable tripod for my EM200 and given the fairly high cost of purchasing a new one I attempted to make a copy of the Tak. The result can be...
Hi Groups, Its been a while since I posted anything. This is approx 10 hours of LRGB on M31 with an FSQ and ATK4000 ccd. This was taken from Les Granges in...

Hi Frank, You can use the reducer that is designed for the Sky 90. I use this with my FS-60C and purchased it from Anacortes. Clear skies, Kevin Dixon ...
Hi Kevin, I knew that could be used with the FS-60C, but I am looking for the dedicated reducer for this scope. I've read that the Sky 90 reducer doesn't do...
Hi Frank, Doesn't do all that well in what respect? I use it all the time for imaging with excellent results. I have rarely used the scope visually but when...
