Hi Paul

I’ve not tried it yet as I lent my SCT to T-mount adapters to Tony (Firstlight) for the Lunar Eclipse, so I haven’t had the opportunity to test it out. I purchased the unit mainly for auto guiding as I had the rings to fit it and it looked a solid ‘scope with the Crayford 10:1 fine focuser, and the best bit - Ron at Sirius Optics had them on special for $359.

I’m a bit wary of Tak ‘scopes these days – they seem to require very expensive, non-standard, custom made adapters in order to do anything with them. It’s okay if you can plot out in advance what you require, but my experience has been that getting the right information is like getting blood out of a stone and then there is a 6 month wait for the adapters.

Cheers

Dennis
