... Nice looking scope and a good review. ... I am curious about this. Since you have the 2'nd focuser it would seem to me you can lock down the 4" focuser...
Tim Thanks for the recommendations turns out that even with screws locked there is still some flexure with the 4" focuser under heavy load (like a large image...

Hi Web, You can see the photo section under "Jason's TMB.." to see my image train using a FLI DF-2 focuser and STL11000 camera - this is a lot of weight for...
Morning Group! Got my new TMB 130 SS a few days ago. I got #18. The instrument looks excellent in terms of fit and finish, but the focuser on mine is very ...
Oil spacing allows a little less needed work to the surfaces of the interior elements - glass to oil is much closer in refractive index than glass to air. I...
Hi Jason! In looking at your pictures, I noticed you have a 152 piggybacked on a Meade 14" SCT. Is the 152 riding directly on the 14" or do you have a tandem...

The focusers appear to be hit and miss. Mostly hit, but some are not working as they should. A fix is in the works and a letter will be mailed soon to all...
Hello List, Having been impressed so much by the Orion ED80's optical performance, I decided to switch from a reflector to a larger refractor for my imaging....
Thanks Mike! I got the scope from you and mine appears to be one of the "misses"! Very happy with all else however. I look forward to the solution; this is why...
Morning Group! Does anybody know the flat field corrected image circle for the new 130 SS? Also, since the W.O. 132 seems mysteriously like the TMB-130, does...

Ohhhhhhh...interesting. How did the SI focuser come into this discussion? Is this the 'fix' planned for the current focuser issue by chance? :-) Mike...
