2" 2X Powermate vs 2" TOA 1.6X Extender

Posted By Tze Yu

I own a 2" 2X TV Powermate and a Tak FS102 scope.

My eyepiece are 21 mm Pentax XL , 7 mm Pentax XL and 5mm Tak LE.

Has anyone compare the TV 2" powermate to the 2" Tak TOA 1.6X Extender?

I wonder should I keep the powermate or get the TOA 1.6X extender?

Thanks,
TC

collimation tool for refractor

Posted By Tze Yu

Which is the best collimation tool for refractor?

I have a Takahashi FS102 refractor which purchase new. I understand that I can send the scope to check for collimation. However, the shipping can be very costly since I live in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

I just wonder if there is an easy tool for collimate a refractor telescope when I need to collimate the refractor.

Thansk,
TC
