TSA 120 a good midlife crisis scope? πŸ˜†


Recommended Posts

Nice crisis Mr Icesheet, lets hope its an early midlife crisis as 40 is a bit low for the midpoint, but at 56 I would say that!
I managed to not have a midlife crisis, was too busy with life throwing things at me, but always time for a belated one.....

Lovely scopeπŸ‘

You could perhaps add an extra felt lining to your rings?

That should enable you to get a snug fit on the scope without risk of pressure damage to the OTA, and without you feeling you need to overtighten the ring clamps..

Beautiful scope! Just in time for planet season too. Β Β 
I was also unhappy with just two tube rings. Although mine fitted tightly around the telescope, there was a degree of sag when I fitted the scope onto my Skytee mount. I eventually moved to a three ring set up, which might seem like overkill, but is much more robust.Β

I’m going to take another look at the rings. Maybe I’m being a bit too cautious but some extra felt wouldn’t go a miss. I do like the look of a three ring set up too. Looks very robust. Β

Thanks Alan! It’s all a little tongue in cheek, nothing but an excuse to treat myself! Which, by the sounds of it you deserve to do too. I can wholeheartedly recommend Takahashi to help in a crisis, manufactured or not πŸ˜‰
