TAK mount

Posted By Victor Hall

I used the Fs-102 on a CG-5 for for 2 years. Maxbright with
nagler and pentax eyepieces.With stock aluminum legs damp times were 7+ seconds.Naturewatch tall oak legs reduced damp
times to less than 2 seconds and also made viewing near the zenith much more comfortable.Great scope only reason I sold it was to purchase a Starmaster 11.
