Cave Nebula - ED80 and 180ED

[Allinthehead]

I found this on cloudynights.

"Yes every image from the back yard , but the scope is very portable

And the collimation is like a newt , but the tak tools that come with the scope are a must .

The tak stock focuser is fine and works well ( add a motor though ) , even though I have a moonlight focuser on it I would not recommend it to anyone

as It was not up to the job and it took a long time to get it working well ( disappointed would cover it ).

Yes I would buy it again over a frac , cool down time is better - no colour problems at all and its very fast indeed

of course if you do not like spikes !!

Regards"

Thanks Richard.  I will try to collimate it again and if I cant get anywhere I'll swap the original focuser back on again.
