Hi! Sorry for being so disgracefully late in replying, I see you’ve already taken the plunge but you might be interested in my setup,. In the end I went for the Tak 1.25” prism, TV Nagler Zoom 3-6, Nagler 13 and the Baader MKIV Zoom. The Baader Zoom was bought for my other scope but I really love it with the Tak. 

Hi Nicola - And here I am unbelievably a year later responding to your post.  Thanks so much for sharing your set up!  I really love the Tak 76.  It has such great optics and is perfect for road trips. 

I'm a new AZ GTi owner using SynScan Pro ver 2.0.6.  While trying to learn the mount's operation, I've had no problems running SynScan indoors w Android 12 and wifi networks close by & no data features turned off.  My downfall came yesterday when attempting to use SkySfari Pro 7 after first staring SynScan & aligning.  Connections on both apps dropped (most frequently SkySafari 7)  every few minutes IF I could even get SS7 to connect.  Sounds a little like tripleped's issue. Any thoughts?

Connect your phone to the mounts WiFi, start up the Synscan app then press the "i" icon in the top right of the screen next to the chevrons.

Then scroll down and the motor board firmware version is indicated there.

I had the same question, so thank you, Ade

Hello!  I've just stepped up to a used Tak FC-76D and have been reading your posts with great interest.  Although rather late to this party, I'm really wishing to know how things turned out for Nicola.  Especially the diagonal question as I have (and plan to stick with) 1.25 for now.  I purchased the TeleVue 1.25 Everbrite Star diagonal and am contemplating the Baader Zoom.  Unfortunately, it's been raining buckets for weeks and there's been no opportunity to test the telescope at night.  Is the TeleVue a bad choice?  Should I have gone with the Tak prism?  Was Nicola able to resolve focus problems (and how)?  Do you recommend the Baader Zoom for this scope?  Many thanks in advance for your thoughts
