Just to keep you going Chris, here's the FC-100 on its 'new' Vixen GP mount.

All of my Taks have been dead sharp and can take 100x per inch in my steady seeing.  I love the little FS78.

My Takahashi FC76D before and after an all-nighter at the AstroFarm B&B st Confolens.  A lovely warm evening turned into one of those cold, crisp nights where the dew froze on the dew shield!

I notice you have a finder scope shoe of some type on that Tak.  That gets me to thinking that maybe my Steallar view shoe may work on my FS78.  I will have to try it out.

Oh my word that Tak is beautiful!

There was an unboxing thread for the Tak 78 last year and it really planted the seed for owning one some day

Edit: it was the 76 not the 78, still it made me want a Tak!

Just imagine the day when your next baby arrives. Here's just a taster!

Just an hour after being born she was standing on her own three legs.

Actually it's a mixture  Maybe enough for half a Tak clamshell

Here's an ST120 in its natural habitat.

[SkyGibbon]

I am Takless, but enjoy my main setup.

Another little one SW Evo 90

It strangely appeared on my doorstep yesterday, no idea how that happened

Needing a longer dovetail to ride piggy back on the 125 when its upgraded

I like that a lot :-)

Scope has featured on this forum before, but has yet to make this thread...

...so, here is scope at work during another heroic effort observing Jupiter's most recent double moon and shadow transit + GRS:

 

Not quite built like a tank....I suspect it IS a tank...

Aaron, you don't say anything for months and then 'BAM', you hit us with that gorgeous, insane set of fracs ????

Good to see you around.

[Joves]

Haha... Stu, that set of fracs have been sleeping in their cases in a cupboard for god only knows how long! I'm not sure I even remember how to use them anymore :S

On a separate note, I simply attached the pic and hit send. When the page refreshed, it looked like I had written a novel... This new format sure makes my signature look like that of a pompous prat!!

Hope you've all been well.

[Chris]

That's an unreal array of fracs Joves, all of them are stunning! 

[Joves]

Cheers Chris, they are lovely scopes. I look forward to mustering up the motivation, and getting the time, to use them again soon hopefully.

Happy to look after the FS128 for a while if it's feeling unloved ??

[DaveS]

Just a quick snap. In the background my Megrez 90 f/6.9, in the foreground my new 80mm f/4.4 six-element astrograph.

[DRT]

I have moved my larger fracs into a new home...

You'd be more than welcome to Stu, I know you'd look after it

Truth be told, I've not even had a chance to look through the thing since buying it :s
