Nice shot Mike.
I've had both Tak (several) and now an AP140 as well as the TEC180.
AP is a step ahead I agree in both sensible quality engineering that works as well as superior optics. The TEC is quite similar to the AP
though (AP mechanics a bit better like rings, focuser, attachments).
AP is oriented towards sheer practicality and perfection,Tak is a close 2nd.
Someone just paid US$29,600 for a 10 inch AP Mak Cass on Astromart Auctions.
