rawhead Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 Question: What comes in a box like this :)A 7 hour round journey and the (not so) wee beastie is mine :)Looks immaculate, to say I'm a bit apprehensive about first light is an understatement. Fingers crossed the optics work as they should...CheersJonAnswer: Tal 200K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 Good looking scope Jon !.I've been interested in the klevzov-cassegrain design since TAL introduced it but I've not had the pleasure of trying one as yet - looking forward to your 1st light report.

ollypenrice Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 It does have a lot going for it, that is certain. Like the others I'd love to know how you find it. You get a very handy size, physically, with robust construction and decent aperture.Olly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a read and I won't pretend to understand all the technical stuff, but it reads well. I was a bit shocked by what was said about SCT's though.

rawhead Posted October 18, 2010 Author Share Posted October 18, 2010 How are you liking it?Only managed couple of hours in this cloudy county but so far so good. I think it's going to be a cracking all rounder. Had the briefest glimpse of the moon on Saturday, the view seemed better than any I've had to date at X333.Still waiting for a look at Jupiter.M57 was a delicate smoky halo hanging in the sky, M13 looked 3D somehow.It is heavy but it's very compact and manageable . I also ike being down the business end of the scope, makes life much easier. In moderately light polluted skies I think it will take some beating. A big fat newt will always give better views with dark skies.Can't wait to give my new 24mm an outing.....Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
