This is a not often imaged object, so it was fun. A distant globular cluster, the "Intergalactic Wanderer" was featured in an S&T article, Jan.'04. ...

Hi Group, I want to kit myself out with some SuperMonos to suit Lunar/Solar/Planetary observing with my f/8 152 but don't want to go overboard at the moment...
To all TMB 130 f/6 imagers: I will receive shortly the new FF from Thomas/Markus which is adapted to fit my 130 f/6 CNC-LW with the FeatherToouch 3.5". Very...
Hi, I was very happy with my I-M 715 DX (F/15 Mak) when suddenly a 4" APO (a Taka FS-102) appeared in my way. I became so satisfied with it that a started...
It might help a little to look at some photos of the 105 and 152 together http://groups.yahoo.com/group/tmboptical/files/Pictures%20of%20Multiple%20TMB%27s/ ...
For #1, you could examine my image with the 130mm f/6 and the ST10 without a FF: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/tmboptical/files/Peter%20Erdman/M13widefield.jpg...
... Hi, The LW 152 is definitely portable and because the views through it are sooo good it makes all the more portable if you know what I mean. Visually I've...
Hi , I started out with a Tak TOA 130 , and I too am a visual observer. It didn't take very long for me to realise that I was 'aperture challenged", since many...
The elongation in your image is certainly present at the corners but it isn't distracting or noticeable unless looking specifically for it. It shows how...
Howard, I have had the FF made with kind of an AP like "look". It will have a connection to wide T-thread male with the spacing of a Nikon camera body and T2...
My personal tests for limiting magnitude do not support your deep-sky assertion - in a side-by-side test with a 715 and a 6-inch apo (155) I found that the...
That "tediousness" is what it is all about! Nice photos. Thanks. Howard ... 20Erdman/Rosette_TMB5ff_IMG6303.jpg ... 20Erdman/Pelican_b.jpg ... must ... ...
... Hey! ... I would suggest the 6mm. I use that one a lot as the seeing seems to bottom out there. It sure is good to have the 4mm available incase the...

no, the 715 will show more or less then the 130 , but will show far less then then the TMB 152, we tested this under very dark mountain skys last year markus ...
Hi Jim nice to herar this 180 found another happy customer wish you many good weather and clear skies and crisp views best wishes Markus ... From: Jim DeWilder...
Hi Markus, We don't agree. No way it will show "far less". It could perhaps show a little bit more, all things being equal (quality of optics, tube baffling,...
Dodi your impression differs much from mine and others. I did the test with Matthias and other critical observers in austria in the alps at 1800 metter altitue...
Hi Markus, You still owe me a bottle of Champagne for the previous bet with the slightly misaligned TMB 80mm lens, remember, but if you want to bet again ... ...
Dodi we talked about visual only, for imaging I agree aperture wins. I dont know your experts, so if we want to make a bet, we have to observe together, so how...
