TEC140

[m.tweedy 552]

I notice there is a TEC 140 for sale and thought @ollypenrice should know about it. I am not sure if I can say which FB selling page its on. NOTHING TO DO WITH ME. Seller lives in Spain. The seller was just doing a talk the other week. David Wills from Pixel Skies

My mount can't handle two 6" f7 ish refractors, otherwise...

I know Dave and would have absolute confidence in him. We already have two here so a third would be hard to justify!  I absolutely love this instrument both for visual and for imaging. For APS-C sensors and up it will need the TEC flattener (don't buy any other alternative) and then it has a flat field big enough to land a Spitfire on. The flattener, according to many people including myself, further improves colour correction. I managed without it, but only just, using a 15mm square sensor for a while.

As these scopes are rarely for sale I thought I would bring it to peoples attention as it’s beyond my budget.

I thought @ollypenrice “may” have been tempted.

3 sounds much better than 2.

Love my TEC140.  Superb visual scope as well as AP.

I've contacted Dave and there's already a lot of interest in it, mine included!

Let's hope an SGL'er gets it

And it does come with a handle.

I have just been told that it’s sold. But not to me

They do appear from time to time. Don't despair. Both halves of our dual rig arrived from the used market.

I saw the ad and was tempted but I have an Esprit 150 doing the same job, hopefully as good. But I am a sucker for buying telscopes (to the great distress of my limited wallet) so I was really tempted by this ad.... SO GO FOR IT BEFORE I CHANGE MY MIND!

I would have snapped it up, but needed to shift something else quickly to help pay for it.

Not to be however, maybe next time.

I’m now a very pleased owner of a TEC140ed!
