It’s oil spaced optics by TEC

Hard to get rid of I’ve heard 😷

Thank you Michael

Hi John not sure but also may used Lomo as well but definitely TMB and TEC Hi Rob around 120 or so I believe Yuri couldn’t make them quick enough as they were had figured for William so he sort out TMB thanks Mike I was hoping to get a Takahashi cough or a vixen but this turned up and was immaculate and has great reviews so can’t wait for first light KP82 it was somewhat of a bargain these usually fetch close to £3k without flattener etc this is like new it belonged to a Professor of physics in London

I will post a first light up as soon as this weather lets us have some clear nights 👍

This is the reason my Takahashi 76d is for sale I have been looking for a 100mm premium refractor and happened on to this it serves two jobs being nice and compact but also wide field is good so to finance it It was agreed I’d sell one on and the Takahashi 76d which I love is the one to go in it’s place is this A mint WO 110FLT TEC F6.5 it is stunning and I can not wait to try it out it is quite a rare scope and I have a soft spot for this type of scope the build quality is superb the 4 inch focuser is as good as any feather touch I’ve owned and fit the finish on the scope is quality

I’ve owned both there great storage bags can’t say mine rolled around I used to store them vertical any way

Well this scope has surfaced again the optics are by Russian company Astreya and it’s one cell with two doublets and the views are stunning as Brian mentions even Es Reid said they were excellent when I collected it from him after he gave it a once over and clean and collimation

We do haven a large collection of Lego in the man cave also

I have the first time around shuttle etc may have to add new one running out of room though

Es tested it on his set up and no false colour either side of focus

The AZ 100 is same fit as the AZEQ6GT and the Orion AZEQ6 so yes 👍

Yes it is

I had a brief look before taking to Es and I was very impressed the detail on moon was as good as the the TOA 150 I had looking forward to a few clear nights and planets

Once you start down the slippery slope that’s it your hooked

Hi John no it’s a cell with two doublets in Es said it was a really cleaver design and remarked on the quality as being outstanding and totally colourless

I just can’t help it it’s the flourite I’m addicted to it I’ve tried Taks anonymous but I just can’t resist

I replaced mine with the CNC upgraded ones as my tube slipped through the rings also luckily not outside

One or two purchases for myself 😂

No Stu it’s a 130 Quadruplet

Just collected back from a check over and full optic clean from the the man himself Mr Es Reid my latest acquisition a rare TMB-APM -CNC 130 Quadruplet optics by Russian optical makers Astreya Tube by Markus Ludes and Matthias Wirth And the views are stunning totally colour free and pin sharp the focuser is a dream now for some really clear nights to really push this scope to its limits

My two latest additions

If you want to squeeze the extra 5% out of a scope yes they are and they consistently perform well

Little and Large out for a tour

Yes exactly same but different 🧐😂 I just sold my Sky 90 II it was nice but didn’t have that pop I enjoy with my Taks so thought I’d give this a try
