Since you asked. As I think I mentioned in the other thread. I have the TS Photoline 115mm f6,96 Triplet and cannot fault it as an imaging scope. The R&P focuser carries my cameras and filter wheel without any dramas. Focuser rotates as well, and has motor focus options frtom TS. The 3" Photoline reducer/corrector (0,79x) works well across the entire TS Photoline range, it reduces the 115mm to f5,53, and I also use it on my TS80. I have the TS Flattener as well but mostly i use the reducer corrector for the speed advantages. I will be bringing the 115mm to Astrofest if anyone wants to have a look. One of the reasons I purchased from Teleskop-Express was their pre-dispatch testing and collimation check, and the way they triple box these refractors, with the two internal shipping boxes suspended in a foam bead pack, with the scope itself riding in the same expanded EVA used in the optional hard case. I made my own hard case and simply moved the shipping foam to that. Photo attached.
