Nikon eyepiece adaptor

Posted By Terry Smith
I have some Nikon Fieldscope eyepieces that I would like to use in my astro scope. Does anybody know where I can obtain them? The eyepieces I have are the 30xWA and the 20-45x zoom (made for the Fieldscope ED series). Any information would be appreciated.

Hey Herb,
I see you have omitted a forum for us TMB owners. Any chance of putting one up? Thanks.

"New CR150"

Posted By Terry Smith
Just received a good used Celestron CR150 and how surprised I was that it was excellent! Moon detail was surprisingly sharp with very little color. Now I'm going to add a Chromacor and compare it to TMB 100 f8.

Collimating Eyepieces

Posted By Terry Smith
Can you use the Orion collimating eyepiece devices to square-up a refractor? They only mention reflectors in their information. Thanks.

127 f8

Posted By Terry Smith
My friend and I just put down $$$ for this scope. I have a great, anxious feeling about this refractor even though I have a 100mm f8 APO. It should be nice.

Feather Touch focuser

Posted By Terry Smith
Hey All,
I've just ordered a Feather Touch focuser from Starlight Instruments to retrofit my Vixen tube TMB 100 f8. This should be superior to any on the market. Now my scope will be at least the equal of the CNC models with less weight. I'll post a photo soon.

Posted By Terry Smith
Here is my new Feathertouch focuser for my TMB 100 f8 (Vixen tube). This is a superior product and the people at Starlight Instruments were wonderful. I'm very pleased.

Mars comparison

Posted By Terry Smith
Last night my best friend came over with his new Intes MK-67 and compared it to my TMB 100 f8 on Mars. I'll get to the point: It was not as good as my scope. The refractor had better contrast, sharpness and was almost the equal in brightness. I'm sure glad Tom Back and Markus are in the scope business.
