UNBOXING of My Choice... TSA120

[Fedele]

Days ago I asked for your valuable opinions on the choice between TSA120 and TOA130. While being able to afford both, I evaluated that for visual purposes and for my logistic situation, for my tastes, my multipurpose setup, the best choice I could make was a TSA120:
- a 5 "in a 4" body
- a splendid and light synthesis of both my current DL and a possible TOA130.
As soon as I can I write my impressions on the comparison with FC100DL and Mewlon180c.

Looks good, I recently got a 2nd hand TSA 102 which is excellent, so I'm sure the 120 will be even better.

The comparison between the TSA120 and Mewlon 180c will be very interesting……

Welcome to the TSA120 club.

And pleased to see it has the classic Tak focuser, rather than some after market add-on 😊

At first I thought it was massive compared to the M180, but I think it's perspective... the better comparison is with the FC-100DL... Awesome setup you have there👍

Thank you for posting this, that is a truly aspirational scope... not for me you understand, but I'm sure someone will be inspired 🤔😁

Looks fabulous @Fedele. I am very envious

I would be very interested to hear how your Mewlon compares with your FC100DL. I think the Mewlon looks a gorgeous scope and could be very tempted (I have a 100DC and love it and think it might be great mounted alongside a 180c )

Good luck with your new scope,

Malcolm
