Bino Refractors

Posted By Art Ciampi

Yes we have sold a pair of the TOA-130's to big binoculars. com The long back focus allowed the telescopes to be used without the necessity to cut the tube shorter.

The results must be stunning.

Temma Version

Posted By Art Ciampi

If you have a Temma-2 mount, it is written on the side of the mount. The Temma-2 can be operated with the Sky or Takahashi's Pegasus software. There is also an ASCOM driver that will allow a park function. This driver is free.

The Temma-2 among other things has a feature where the mount passes the object and backs up to it to take the play out of the gears.

If you will go to www.takahashijapan.com you can find a writ-up in English that explains all the technical advances that the Temma-2 has that the original Temma PC did not have.

Piggybacking on a Mewlon 250

Posted By Art Ciampi

You can mount this guide scope on the M-250S model because it uses the BRC-250 tube holder d it has a large flat bridge plate that will accept the guide scope.

Or if you have the M-250 you can use a tandem plate.
