Lars,

Which series of scope is the Takahashi CAA for? I'm looking for one for the FS-60CB.

Cheers.

To be honest I dont know which Takahashi scope the CAA was meant for - I used it on the AP 2.7" focuser with an adapter.

Dear Lars
What connectors come with the AO8 unit?
What would I need to connect it to my ST10XME?
Cheers

pm sent enquiring about 90mm Cassegrain

Edit: To avoid any potential confusion, Lars got back to me (very quickly - thanks!) but unfortunately it's not quite what I am after so it's still on the market.

Hi Terry

I think the AO8 screws into the ST10XME directly at the camera end. I'm not sure what you have on the other side?

Cheers

Lars

An open message to say thank you to Lars.

Delivery to C Qin went well, nicely packed, thanks.
All went well with the coating at C Qin.
Received mirror yesterday afternoon, and fitted to my scope no problems.

As I suspected, focal length is out, (seems to be to long by 60mm), but that is for me to sort out, might have to use forum for advice. So unfortunately I can't report on the optics, other than to say it looks good:D

So thanks again Lars for all your patience :thumbsup:

also thanks Satchmo.:D

Regards
Richard

Thankyou Richard

It was a pleasure to speak with you. I'm sorry to hear that the FL does not match your existing tube. Hopefully you can effect a simple remedy.

I would be grateful to hear how you go

Regards

Lars
