New Scope Old Targets

[graham.hobart]

Hey
Takahashi Epsilon e200
Astrograph.
Unusual and large Tak -
Only recently getting to know it.
Have had several months before negotiating it.
Since getting it my work life has gone ballistic - and for a Doctor you know that means something.
I don't know If that means it is a cursed scope or I just have a busy life now.
Anyhoo, some pics from when I could.
DSLR.
This yellow creature has a massive corrector- but I think unforgiving on distances. I Would think a cooled full sensor DSLR or CCD would rock.
I looked at a ccd adaptor - for my FLI I am 50% pretty much wasting stars.
Anyone got a cheap 1100 they can swap?

Beautiful images, awful colour scope! Sorry lol. Needs repainting.

Capture details?

Epsilons have a good name. I like the colour:eyepop:

This is really a widefield scope and where it will shine.

Good results, Graham! The Epsilon scopes are so fast that they are very unforgiving on collimation and sensor tilt.

Top images Graham. Looks like that OTA is worth getting to know.

Thanks folks. I have not had a second chance to use it since these pics- weather and work as per. I think it could do with a collimation tweak but am to scared to try !!!:D
