FS60CB  & Maxbright 2
test and option 1 not completaly success due to the stupid things did on the focuser by Takahashi (sorry...)

Using the TV Ploss 25 mm with a 1,25  GPC (the lowest) i don t reach focus for mm. No focus instead with   shortest with shorter eyepieces. 
The problem is that the inside of the aluminum tube of the focuser is less than 2 ", so the 2" nose does not enter completely and stops 12 mm inside the PLL eyepiece prota.
Now i  will try a second option, to reach focus with the original focuser: 

or I will use two 13.5 mm m48 / t2 fittings or much more likely I will sacrifice a 2 "nose by sawing it and reducing it to 10/12 mm
I will do the same with a 2 "GSO extension, allowing me to eliminate the crazy set of three AVVITA & Unscrew fittings ... a real madness that wastes a lot of time interchanging accessories.

I saw a photo with the modification for encoders and cable connections. So it can host these and nexus

Am I wrong or hoped that the changes were made on the AZ75 to accommodate the goto kit?

First light and first test of the Takahashi FS60CB. There is haze and not good seeing. I have to say it looks promising. Fluorite puts its very recognizable mark on the stars and objects. Here the daylight was still present and therefore diffused by the haze

Molto carino, se lo dai da mangiare e te ne prendi cura, un giorno crescerà fino a diventare un TOA 150😂

hahahah

I told my wife that I found it abandoned on the side of a road and that out of pity I took it home. Increase the Taka family with "The Little Taka".
It will be used for Solar in Ha alpha with Daystar, riech filed, grab and go

i need suggestions on the support (rings, cradle, etc?)

hi

I want to adapt a 135mm DERF to both my TSA120 and a 159/900 acrho. any idea?

i need a pair of these, for my TSA120.

1) is a good choice for medium mag view of fileds and DSO?

2) how large in mm are they? i need this measure to understand if they work properly in a Bino MAxbright 2

thanks
