Hi Astroron,
Thanks for the query. My telelscope is a Takahashi TOA-130NS 5" F7.7 ortho-apochromatic refractor. I bought it about 3 months ago and it's by far the best telescope I've ever had the privilege of using.
The eyepieces I used were both a Meade series 4000 4.7mm UWA that I bought years ago and a Takahashi 3.6mm HI-LE, I used them with the TOA-1.6x extender to get a bit more magnification when the seeing was good.
I can only use it on my apartment balcony (and sometimes take it Mount Stromlo for darker sky observing) but the views of the moon and planets are breathtaking. I'm currently saving up for a new mount, the current one is very wobbly in the wind.
For anyone out there who wants a good scope, this brand and model can't be beat, it's a masterpiece.
