Tak60cb

I am amazed at the ' wide field views ' that this little TAK60 gives ...especially a joy to use with the Denkmeier Bino's.

Very portable outfit and the use of the ' power switch ' to change magnification is a big plus.

The outstanding ' crispness ' of the views is really something to behold.
I can see this little gem of a Scope getting as much use as the NA140.

A nice Feather Touch Focuser is a dream also for very precise pin point stars.

I'm really enjoying this recent purchase.

Glad you are happy with it, Col! I must try and have a look through one-everyone who has one seems very impressed.

That's a very nice setup Col. I have been using mine with the LVW 3.5mm at 101x and like you am very surprised by the views. Love the look of those binos on it.
I'm going to compare the Pentax XF 8.5mm to the LVW 8mm tonight using the FS60 on the moon. The LVWs always show off-axis colour so I'll be keen to see how the XF goes.
I'm still having to use the big mount, my budget took a big nosedive with the Mewlon purchase and my semi-understanding wife has hidden my credit cards.
I'll be up there around Australia Day so will try to call in.

The CQ module for the 60CB is a very nice accessory, worth consideration
