Hi Mike, Hopefully, if the tube is an inch or two shorter, that will compensate for the flange, and still leave good back-focus. That would actually be a good...
Hi James, Thanks for reporting on your FR. That is exactly what I've been talking about. The need for somewhat shorter tubes to better accomodate imaging...
Hello to everyone. I'm making the move from a C9.25 SCT to a TMB-130SS, and am encouraged by what I see and hear about it. ... That would be me (hi, Wade). I...
hi Mike! welcome to the group! You haev got a very nice observatory and a decent equipment. Your images I have seen in Your webpage are very good! looking...
I had one if the first motorized feather touches from starizona I worked great. A little on the pricey side. Yes it memories its last position once the power...
I have a motorized feathertouch. When I cycle power off/on, the handcontroller starts again at 00000, did'nt use the PC connection yet. Geert Vandenbulcke ...
Hi Mike, been awhile since the CGE days... You will not be disappointed with the 130SS - a very good imaging scope - my brother Jim has it now and as a image...

Certainly the RoboFocus units remember, I can't say anything about the Featherfouch, but the lack of response is is little disconcerting. Peter ... 1/02/2007 ...
I have spent a bit of time hear reading before making the purchase of the SS and feel I can post some info at this time. I may be new to this forum so to speak...
As Geert indicates, the FT returns to 00000 after each power cycle. I have not found that to be of any problem. Once powered up all things are measured and...

There must be a fair amount of tilt in your camera connection since the corners don't all show the same star shapes. The bottom left corner looks reasonably...
Peter, I have wondered about that. I use the 2" nosepiece from my SBIG 2K and clamp it in the 130mm focuser. Other than providing some pressure to seat it...
Thanks, Bob for your post. Very good information to have about the Roddier testing and software for it. That's something I may want to try on my own scopes. ...
I did a similar test last night, and achieved similar results to yours! I used an ST-8 camera, and the coupling to the focuser was a little wobbly, so there...
Hello, a question, how reliable is such test ? I mean if it would be relaible , why manufactors need to spend money to do testreports ? And such testresults we...
Hi Markus - Here's what I've read: 1. "When done correctly" there is a high correlation between the Roddier test results and interferometer test results. 2....
The Roddier test has a very good correspondence to an interferometric test. In my own case I have a one scope for which I have an interferometric report and...
... For what it's worth, Roland seems to like the Roddier test. One of these days I'll probably run it on my scope, but while I apparently have the equipment,...
Hello List, Posted on my web site are two more images taken with the TMB130SS and an SBIG ST2000XCM color camera. This OTA is proving to be a great imaging...
... Hey Mike, A couple of very nice images for sure. I think you caught NGC-2023 very well in addition to the HH. Thor's helmet is also excellent. More!...

Hi Tim - The first time I tried this using the ST-8, I ran into real problems...Roland and I were both scratching our heads. Then a fellow named Joe Baldwin...
