Having used it now on the Moon (early morning), I disagree with this comment.
The image is EXCELLENT indeed, but NOT as good as a refractor, simply because of the "shadow" of the secondary. It is quite noticeable to my sensitive eyes on bright objects, and in my opinion, distracting. I find this with ALL reflecting telescopes - one of the most obvious to me is the Mewlon (REALLY distracting) and any of the Schmidt-Cassegrains. It is something my eye-brain cannot "put aside", and it doesn't matter what size secondary there is - I always see it.
As I said, the image presented is exquisitely sharp, but the differential dimming is a distraction to me.
So, no, the Tak refractors are whistling merrily.
