No, there will be no Tak on the mount. I went through agony over the weekend about what to use for imaging on the HEQ5-Pro. It works brilliantly with 8"SCT with f6.3 reducer and 70mm guidescope. But I'm trying to go even more minimalist with the Canon 350D and photography. Finally I had come down to 80ED and WO focuser or the new Saxon premium ED80 but then I heard about various quality issues and so I finally got a great deal on a WO Megrez II 80 triplet APO that I could not pass up. It will do my imaging with guiding or using PEC on the HEQ5 mount and will be a great portable scope for travelling. After seeing some of the photos on the WO site as well as some other astrophotos and emailing those that have the triplet APO i felt it was the way to go. But thanks for your considered input it really stirred me up. Nice to have that sort of choices in life.
