Tak fever strikes in WA!

Received my new TSA 102 today and even managed a very brief first light on the Moon and Jupiter. I ordered this a couple of weeks ago and at the time Claude at AEC still had a couple in stock at August prices. He is a pleasure to deal with.

It is a beautiful telescope and I look forward to many pleasant hours of observing in the future. I will be using it alt/az for now. Maybe one day I will get around to aquiring a driven mount.

Anyway, here are a couple of pictures, one campares it to the Megrez 90 with dew shields closed. The TSA does feel much larger and heavier though still a compact and light telescope if that makes sense. The Megrez works on a Vixen Porta but the Tak is a bit too much for that. I have a home made alt/az mount that is suitable for now.
