Since receiving my 152mm achro over a month ago, I've absolutely fallen in love with this scope. Needless to say the 9.25 C SCT hasn't seen much use. Just out...
John, Check out the APM site in Germany: http://www.apm-telescopes.de/info.php?id=47666 Cheers, Eddy ... From: babbalouey To: tmboptical@yahoogroups.com Sent:...
Thomas, how does this instrument compare with the BO/TMB doublets that have eight times the color-correction of an achromat? That subsumes that this doublet is...
... The 203 f/6 refractor (and OTA) was about $5000. I'd imagine the longer 203 would be about the same, or a few thousand $$ more if it was in the CNC tube...
Hi Eddy, Thanks for the link. That is one awesome scope, not inexpensive but compared to the same size in an APO, smething of a bargain. For what I observe it...
Hi All, Just a quick note about the Rini eyepieces I mentioned in the reply to Eddy... I really liked the 26mm, panned around to M41, 35 & 36 some real nice...
Last night had the best seeing conditions in this area that I can remember in several years, if not decades. That, along with the TMB 130 f/9.25, made for an...
Hi all This weekend after thinking a lot about what object I should do I finally decided to go after the beautifull edge on galaxy NGC891 Equipment TMb 130mm...
Great job on NGC891 Raulo Your tracking was excellent and the background very flat. What elevation are you shooting at? Cheers Bob ... finally ... filters -...
Harvey, I agree with Mike, nice report. I am thrilled for you. Looks like it is doing just what Thomas said it would do, in nights of good seeing. I am Green...
Thanks Guys, I consider it a testament to Thomas' design work and LZOS's execution of his design. I'm just a lucky buystander who was able to take advantage...
Hi Paulo, Yes, I like it. Having lost Michael from this list you have to take his place with the wonderful pix! :) I also like all those other galaxies I can...
... Hi Harvey, ... Agreed, nice report, wish I were there at the EP with you. A comparison on a night such as this between the TMB 130-f/9.32242334 and TMB...
Believe it or not, one thing I've never checked until tonight was how much my completed 175/8 OTA weighs. Turns out it's 44 pounds naked, and 53.5 pounds...
Mike, My little 130 f/9.35 weighs in at 35 pounds stripped. It would have been quite "lens heavy" if not for the rotating section ahead of the focuser. That...
Paulo, This is a very nice result, with very good processing. Good work, Terry _____ From: tmboptical@yahoogroups.com [mailto:tmboptical@yahoogroups.com] On ...
Thank you all for the nice comments. Tim: You’re welcome to use it for the splash screen. Donald: Well Michael did wonderful photos and I still have a long...
Hi Mike, My solution for adding weight to the focuser end of the scope can be seen in the pictures section under "Owner's scopes" then "Kurt's Scopes". I...
I need someone with a TMB 100 F8 (CNC tube ) to measure the outside diameter of the objective end, basically where you would wrap a heating band around with...
Hi, Everyone: I just returned from a terrific two nights at the 15th-annual Connecticut Star Party with two other TMB owners. Jim Cortina had his TMB 175 out,...
Hi, Here is my best DSLR image of Mars to date: http://www.mlunsold.com/examples/Temp/Mars-10-3-2005.jpg Image Details: A 20Da with ISO 400 and 1/20th second...
Hi- I just measured it. The diameter to the outer edges of the lens cell is 4 3/4" and the diameter of the dewshield is 6". Hope this helps! Charlie Ryder ... ...
