Signature on the TOAs

Posted By Art Ciampi
Originally only the #1 OTA was signed, but I thought it would be nice to have the people who made the telescope to sign their work.
Signature continued for about three years and then stopped.No other OTA's are signed except those on special order by customer request.

Re: FSQ (NEW) & Scopeguard Case

Posted By Art Ciampi
The metal cover we supply is supplied to us by Takahashi. We asked Takahshi since the introduction of the TOA-130 to include the male 72mm FS-102 aluminum cover to fit into the rear coupling of the TOA-130, 150, TSA-102 and FSQ-106 to seal off the optical tube.

You can get one through your Takahshi dealer.

Takahashi Dedicated 2" Diagonal for FSQ-106

Posted By Art Ciampi
Yes it will. On the EDX model you attach it the same way as you did with th old Q. With the new Q ED version you need to get the 2" nosepiece which make the diagonal into a standard 2" diagonal.

Takahashi Epsilon 200 questions

Posted By Art Ciampi
The metal back distance for the E-200 is 59.8mm. You must place the chip at this precise distance behind the rearmost metal surface of the corrector.

We can make a custom spacers for your needs that will allow the DSLR and CCD camera to focus perfectly.

I can fax a copy of the E-200 system chart to you.

This instrument has not been made for 15 years. Nonetheless, we can help.

Please cotnact us and speak to Fred, he can help with the spacers.
