Spot on 👍🏻 I am as delighted with my @JOCinspired Stihl electric hedge trimmer as with the Lunt.

Lunt in action on a very sunny day.

Any chance you could reword the question to only one MAKE of telescope?

Suitable precaution to avoid diluting that lemonade 😊

I understand the words but not the question 🤔

There is always the chance, but unlikely considering the tightness of the EP holder collet screw. I used to worry about damage to instrumentation, but realised the stuff needs to be used. These days I am more worried about doing myself a mischief moving a tripod and mount around 😳

The turret is a fair weight, but probably not much more than the Tak 2-inch diagonal. This is mainly to have an array of high power high pieces available. These are short FL and the Tak LEs (shown in pic), TPL and TOEs are very lightweight. Not planning on putting Ethos in 😊

Testing out the new Tak 4 way turret on the FC 100DZ

Well, there’s plenty of it to drive around 😊

Yes, it’s still raining here Dave. Trying to avoid the Pools.

My catalogue is from September. It doesn’t have the expanded TPL eyepiece range which is now available and shown in the October catalogue in your link.

This is the TSA 120 page and this the Mewlon (sorry for the shaving mirror @mikeDnight)

Not pushy at all Mike. I just point my camera at the text using Google Lens and it immediately translates. Here’s the intro: Takahashi Seisakusho Co., Ltd. was founded in 1932 by Kitaro Takahashi as a casting company. After the war, the company entered the astronomical telescope field in 1960, and in 1967 produced the first astronomical telescope under Kiichiro Takahashi's own brand, ``TS''. We have released a 65mm refractor equatorial mount. For more than half a century since then, we have continued to manufacture innovative, high-quality astronomical telescopes, supported by superior design technology and the craftsmen who bring it to life. Currently, Takahashi products are used by many astronomy fans not only in Japan but all over the world. Kabashi Even in this mass consumption society, all of our products are manufactured with care and attention to detail by skilled craftsmen so that they can last a lifetime, maintain their performance for a long time from the time of purchase, and continue to be used with love. Masu. We provide as much maintenance as possible even for products that have been manufactured for several decades. All of us at Takahashi hope that you will be able to use Takahashi products to face the universe and experience

But Dave @F15Rules won’t get beyond this page

What about these? A fine FC 100 and skilled Tak workers

Japanese roulette

Splendid 👍🏻

This arrived. You might not hear from me for a few days….

I love Oklop bags and have several. I looked at this one for my DZ but thought it was a bit long. instead I have an 80cm long x 23 x 20 bag from Neewer with a layer of foam inside. It accommodates the DZ with diagonal and finder in place:
