New Sightron tripod and a K-Astec handle for the FC76.

Lovely, lovely, lovely!

Is that an AP in alt/az that it's on?

Thank you! 😎 It's a great mount for this size of scope. Disappears in use.

Have reduced the weight of the FS152 a bit more by replacing the focuser with a 2.5 inch FT.  The total weight now with rings, dovetail and lens cap is 10.73kg.

The focuser adapter was made in Australia by Joshua Bunn from Albany.

Very nice. My current TSA came with a lovely FT3035, though the original Tak focuser was pretty good, and - without wanting to upset the Tak connoisseurs - remains wrapped up in a cupboard. The smaller Tak focuser on my FC-100DC wasn’t up to the job of holding a heavy binoviewer, however. I have an MEF-3 on my Epsilon Tak focuser, which again works well.

Enjoying these little beauties. Enough eye relief to be comfortable, and not to touch the lenses with eyelashes. They’ve already become a favourite for solar Ha at 120x. Want to get more time with them on the Moon, and the planets to come in a couple of months’ time. But they deliver exceptionally sharp and clean views.
