The Focus Mate 10:1 is ' silky ' smooth....build quality is just superb....solid as...good ' feel ' to it all round.

Weight ...very similar ...TV76 maybe a ' touch ' heavier.
If I wanted to be ' picky ' ...the Pronto would be the ' runner up ' in a viewing contest....but there would be very little in it between them.

Yet to see the sky at night ....tonight I hope...weather permitting.
Very pleased with my purchase.

Hi Flash,

That's great Colin, yet another thoroughbred added to the stable.

I hope to see a few TV's, at you know where (I don't dare mention it again ). Only four more sleeps. I love my TV Ethos and Delos ep's, but have yet to see through any TV scopes, unfortunately. The best refractors I have seen to date are two Taks (130 & 106ED) and an AP (130), but my bank account says No! That's why I have a mere FLT110, but I too am very happy with it.

Cheers Peter
