    That is one fine piece of glass Ant 👍🏻 I see they have updated the labelling since I got mine. Good to see the Takahashi name on it.

    Looks about right. The section on the left below is what I use in my FS 100. (With Tak prism diagonal) The other bits are surplus

    Yup I had a Tasco 60 mm. I think it was Christmas 72, @mikeDnight. It had a wooden tripod and didn’t have the rod that attaches the tube to the mount. What were they for? Steadying or fine adjustment But this is the scope that got me going!

    Those boxes do look lovely, don’t they? Im guessing Extender Q 1.6
  5. JeremyS
    You a brand snob, Mike? You’ll be telling us how much you like Takahashi next. 🤣
  6. JeremyS
    Probably not, considering the two lovely fracs in you signature 👍🏻
  7. JeremyS
    Very wise! The possibilities with your Tak FC 76 are limitless
  8. JeremyS
    Not just yours..... 😳

    Yes that’s the one (18 cm). I don’t think the screws supplied are the right ones for the Tak tube cradle, though. I used two screws from my toolbox instead. Note the advantage of the Tak dovetail is that it comes with correct screws (but as said above, it’s too narrow for some dovetail mounts)

    As John intimates, doing the research is half the fun. TSA 120 is a lifetime scope. But I would say that wouldn’t I? 🤣 I think I’m turning into a cat: gives me 9 lifetime scopes 👍🏻

    Bad luck John. Was same here: all ready to go, then heavy cloud at dusk. Was hoping for the fifth night in a row. Still, a night in admiring the Taks is not too much of a hardship 😊

    The Tak FC 100 Dx have wider tubes than the FC 76 DCU and FS 60 (Q). So they need bigger tube rings. They can be mounted to the same dovetail plate tho. Not sure if that’s what you were asking

    Tak narrow tube holder (on Tak FS60 Q)
  15. JeremyS
    Indeed 👍🏻 The pic I posted showed the full size Tak tube cradle. I’ve also got a narrow one which is slightly lighter for travelling (and mounting)

    Lifetime screams Takahashi to me 😊 I had a Borg 125 years ago (ca 20). It was a fine scope and light, but I found the build quality to be rather poor. Maybe they’ve improved, but I’ve steered clear (apart from the unique Pocket Borg 😊). For me they are functional, not lifetime.

    Congratulations on your new scope @Nicola Fletcher. It’s a Beauty. I use a standard Vixen style dovetail on mine. The Tak dovetail bar is fractionally narrower and for some reason too narrow for my ADM. It’s fine for the clamps on all my other scopes tho.

    That man is a genius. And he still sees opportunities for improvement! Where can I get one of those Takahashi worker’s jackets???
  19. JeremyS
    Carefully, Dave 😊
  20. JeremyS
    Yup, 4th night in a row here too 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Ready to roll....
  21. JeremyS
    Gosh, if that is optically up to standard it will be a real winner! Thanks @john. I hope an SGLer will get one soon and report back 👍🏻
  22. JeremyS
    Stunning 👍🏻
  23. JeremyS
    They look comfy, Dave i just hope they are not the same as Lady Gaga ordered
  24. JeremyS
    Nice one John 👍🏻 it’ll be the FC 100 DL soon 🤞🏻
  25. JeremyS
    Looks superb 👍🏻 I’m always impressed by CCDs with handles 🤣
