Enjoy... ;) http://www.astronomie.be/dodi/deepsky20060822b.html This will also be few of the last images with my TMB 80mm as I found a used FSQ, which will...
Hi, I'm a new member and I would like to introduce myself. I am 36 years old (till next sunday;-) and live in a small village near Mainz, Germany. My new TMB...
we have a TMB designed flattner available for the 175 but no reducer. Now either you try the new AP reducer or you wait till we gave to LZOS the reducer design...
Hi Carsten, Welcome to the group! I am sure you will enjoy your new TMB 80/600. As you can see by the image Dodi just posted; it is an image machine; if you ...
STU, Exactly how do you connect the AP 0.75 reducer to the ST10/CFW ? I want to do the same thing to my TMB 152/ST10/CFW, but I'm not sure exactly what...
Which AP reducer do you mean? I thought their reducer/flatteners were very specific to their own optics? Peter ... reducer. Now either you try the new AP...
Earlier you (Markus) mentioned that LZOS will now make focal reducers for the TMB line. Will one for the TMB 80/480 be made? Estimate of the reduction?...
Markus: I would be interested in an 80/480 too if it had a real reducer/corrector in the .75x or better range. As I, and many other imagers, already have a...
Interesting... I would go for a 50mm diameter reducer, covering indeed the 35mm format. The 2 inch feathertouch does not keep an STL large format exactly...
Overkill. I don't think it needs to be THAT big. Just a bit better than the Televue one, and a bit larger diameter ;) ... diameter of about 80 to 90 mm, so you...
You can get a FT 3.5" to AP thread ring from FeatherTouch. It works fine, with the limitation that AP's reducer was never meant to be used with a large format...
The flatteners yes, but the reducer (the original one) itself is common to all their scopes, and works well on a TMB refractor, if you don't go to 35mm format...
Rolands new Reducer for $ 1,500 , also successfully tested now by Tim on his TMB 9" and 6" regards Markus ... From: erdmanpe To: tmboptical@yahoogroups.com ...
Digi: I think the useable area of the reducer is equal to the diameter of the reducer multiplied by the it's reduction factor. So a 50mm reducer at your...
Dear Bob: Thanks for the great information. You have the very setup that I am intending to get. I have done quite a bit of research on the Paramount ME...
Thanks Wayne... The problem is, I would like to be around 500mmm focal length, which would be better for most images, but I have already 9 months a Televue ...
... Yes, the new AP reducer intended for their AP 160 worked well on the TMB 229 - f/9 and TMB 152 f/7.9 I have a strong feeling it would work well on the...
Hi Tim, Well, me a bit too, but ok, there is no flattener for the 80mm at f6, which annoys me a bit in the things I want to do with the scope. i'd love to see...
... It's definitely a personal preference issue and I look at it the same way you mentioned above. The advantages of the longer designs simply outweigh the...
... What about FF-080F6 "80mm f/6 Field Flattener" here: http://www.tmboptical.com/itemsGrid.asp?cat_id=23 ? Does Thomas no longer make this item? -Eric...
