...and of course you went for the optional extras

Now you got a personal chair John, do we have to call you Professor Handleby?

Or this one

Ok then. So the question becomes not whether to get the FC 100 or the FC 76 DCU, but which one to get first 🤣

Perhaps somebody liked them so much they cut them out to stick on their wall.

I’d go for the FC 100 _unless_ I viewed regular air travel as a likelihood. In which case I’d go for the FC 76 DCU. But as I’ve said before, if you are not doing much travel then I don’t really see a significant advantage of the FC 100 over the triplet you already have, other than weight. Unless you desire ownership of a Tak - which is a symptom of that well know malady called Takitis 😊

Might just be me, but the images are blank for me 🤔

Lovely lovely. Perhaps the Q1.7 x next. Makes a super FS 60 Q 👍🏻

As a regular reader of the latest publications broadcast on the ArXiv astrophysics list, I was especially interested in several of today’s papers, which I suspect are ground-breaking: The Existential Threat of Future Exoplanet Discoveries Pandemic Dark Matter Using Artificial Intelligence to Shed Light on the Star of Biscuits: The Jaffa Cake Science Spoofs, Physics Pranks and Astronomical Antics The first is published in that highly cited journal, Acta Prima Aprilia There are quite a few other classics listed (including one referring to Taylor Swift songs)

What a super report Neil!

Super @Nigella Bryant 👍🏻

Sounds a fair exchange for a lovely AZ100 outfit Good on Mrs Clay 👍🏻🤣

Looks wonderful @Steve Clay👍🏻

Here's the Tak TSA 120 + Rowan AZ100 + Berlebach Planet combo for comparison. What's not to like? 🙂

Another option is the AZEQ6. You need power of course. I use a small Tracer battery when I go on field trips, shown in the photo. It goes nicely on a Berlebach Planet with my TSA 120 (although that’s quote a bit lighter that the TOA 130)

There is really only one answer regarding current mounts: Rowan AZ100. Prefect engineering, no hassles, no power if you don’t want it. Ideal accompaniment for the Tak. Expensive, perhaps. But not for the quality you get. No compromises here. But I expect you know this 😊

Love ‘em

Something missing from that frac, Dave @F15Rules?

Happy Birthday Tessa - arrived 1 year ago today 🙂

There was discussion on here about sonic booms being heard on the afternoon of March 20- and reported on the BBC website. Well it soon became clear it was a fireball. The full story is here: https://britastro.org/node/25868 Intriguing that fragments may yet be found in Dorset.

Watch out Magnus, you’ll be sporting @mikeDnight’s hairstyle next 🤔

Excuse me, this is a family site Barry. 🤣

I’m all 👂👂 Stu. Will be very interesting

I use it for all those things, Fish 😊

Time for the Tak FC 100, John?
