Re: Cleaning a Fluorite APO

Posted By Dan Avnet

Hi David,

Texas Nautical Repair, the US Takahashi distributor, located in Houston, TX. Phone 713-529-3551. Web site: http://www.lsstnr.com/

The reason I say send it to them is you have an absolutely premium refractor with the fluorite doublet multicoated element on the outside. It's not worth learning how to clean it on such an expensive 'scope. Fred, their head tech guru, is an expert at this and it won't be expensive to collimate and clean it. Then you'll have it right on.

Best,

Dan

Absolutely fabulous image: best I have seen with an E160. Great scope, camera, and mount combo. Now I see what can be done with my E160 I can't wait for my 'Processing Genius' vitamin supplements to arrivesmile Oh how I wish.

Best,

Dan

Allen,

It's a screw for mounting a DSLR camera--most any camera has that socket on the base--or other devices with a 1/4-20 socket which is the standard size.
