"Dizzy" the Takahashi FC 100 DZ joins the team

[JeremyS]

Delighted to share some pics of the latest member of the Tak team here. Dizzy arrived today and is excited about first light.

I'm so dizzy, my head is spinning

Like a whirlpool,  it never ends

And it's  you Tak, making it spin...

Enjoy Andrew

Mine too, Andrew. I fear I might have to let some Taks be spun out for a new life on their own 🙂

The only thing I don't get with TAK scopes is why they cant include a 10:1 fine focus.

F8 100... A  visual observers dream. Congrats, and enjoy!

I think they are bosons and in the ground state like to stick together. A 10:1 focused might transform the to fermions which would keep them apart so not a good marketing ploy.

Nice addition to the fleet, you will soon have more Taks than FLO have.

Very very nice glass Jeremy!

Question: are you going to stay with Tak for the 140mm-160mm frac? I too have pondered this question.

Ah, I wondered how long you'd resist once Mike had bought one 😁.  I just wish you'd bought one of the new 120DZs, Mike's face would be a picture 🙂.

I hope you manage to have first light soon.

Sorry I forgot it hasn't been announced officially yet, we'd better not tell anyone else, mums the word 😉.

Lovely scope Jeremy - congratulations

Nice wind-up by Paul as well (I assume)

I can't comment, John. The Tak lads said they kill me if i did 🤫

Or worse: use a mirror scope 🙂

Those Mewlons are "pretty good" I hear!

[jock1958]

Lovely, lovely what a cracking looking scope. I’m sure you will love it!!

[Highburymark]

Very nice indeed Jeremy! Would love one but think I’ll wait for the 140DZ. 
 

[mark81]

Need? 🤔

Generally one more than I already have, David 🙂

I must shift one, though, as it's getting a bit silly. 🙂

 

[dweller25]

Which one though ?

Hmmm...which of my children would I sell? 🤔
