Hi Colin

Just looking at the images, I think the Tak x1.6 and TeleVue x2 are both equally excellent in this application.

In my experience from Brisbane, I find that I can use the Tak x1.6 much more frequently than the TV x2 in terms of what the local seeing conditions can support.

The only other mechanical issue is that the TVx2 has a clean, unobstructed 2" opening at the camera end, whereas the Tak has a central boss so not all 2" accessories can slide in.

I also like the 2 locking grub screws at 90 degrees on the Tak, the TV only has a single one.

Cheers

Dennis
