Thanks Peter :-) My observations are that the OTA is excellent in fit and finish as well as optical performance. I got one of the earlier ones (S/N 46) and the...

Many thanks for your comments Elmsley. Visually I cannot see chromatic aberration in any object with this optic, Venus including. No astigmatism, perfect...
I have a TMB 130 SS and there are some out there, I can tell you the optics are clear , sharp, and color free, very good, and with the new FT focuser they...
... I was on the Starlight Instruments web page the other day and didn't see any mention of the 2.7" Feathertouch, so I'm guessing it's still in developement....
The microfocuser was way too tight which caused the bearings to 'grumble'. My fix can be found at: http://www.helixgate.net/tmb1.html This worked excellent...
Hello List, I've added a new image of M57. I was determined to capture the outer shell of this lovely planetary nebula so I poured hours of exposures into the...

Hello everyone. Got a chance to try the two scopes side by side. Both are incredible! I noticed the 102 has pretty much a clear lens, and the 115 has a purple...

Hey Jim! Long time, no see. Thank you. Yep...the camera/mount/OTA combo is working really good. You know me with reflectors, but this OTA has me won over. ...
Just to clarify, there is no problem with these scopes. I was just curious on coatings. Clouds now for a while, so will have to wait with playing again. :(...
... WG: Point worth adding, Markus, is that the coatings are matched to the particular glass type in the lens, whatever color they come out to be is of little...
Hi, Wayne Please note ideally the coatings are really matched to the specific type glass used, but this is in order to the refractive index of the coating...
the coating on each glas is matched on the glas type for best stability and transmission, whatever color comes out, yes LOMO use a diffrent optical glas then...
... WG: Like I said Guilherme, and as Markus confirmed, nothing particular can generally be drawn intrinsic to a particular color itself--- blue good, green...

Call Werner at Starlight; extensions are full 3.5" ID and do not restrict the light path. Its more the rule than the exception these days for a scope not to ...
You can't reach eyepiece focus even with a diagonal? That's odd but you can still get to focus with an extension tube. For prime focus photography you may need...
I definitely think you should sell the instrument. Any complex device requires the investment of some considerable thought and work on the part of the user to...
Hardly a frustrated beginner. His claim is that he is experienced in astronomy, and has had his own observatory for years. Take a look at the TMBSS list that...
