Nice FOV peter and the taka is nice and sharp as always

Top shot, Swan showing the bright white band

[David Fitz-Henr]

Amazing wide field shot Peter with lots of detail in the nebulae - and stars sharp across the whole massive field!

[dugnsuz (Doug)]

Beautiful FOV Peter and bags of detail too.
I'm very envious of your arsenal of quality gear and obvious ability!!
(brown-nosing again!!)
Another top shot.

ps... I think the orientation below is nice

[multiweb (Marc)]

Very nice. TAK sharp. A field to die for.

[Peter Ward]

Thanks Guys. With the moon running into full I suspect the colour channels will have to wait.

The little Taka is nice, but frankly doesn't have quite the same "snap" as my AP scopes. Focus drifts quite a bit with temperature...and its 4" focuser groans a bit with the STX + CFW

Agreed Doug! I've since changed the web page

[h0ughy (David)]

what a wonderful Bird Cage Shot

[strongmanmike (Michael)]

Looks good Peter, great FOV and nice tight stars - Ha only, I know, so should be huh?

What does your rig look like with the FSQ attached? Any photos?

Like many others I've always eyed the FSQ but I too was concerned about our heavy camera-FW combos on the focuser...? This is an issue for a few scope manufactures actually, they need to upgrade their products to stay with these heavy times.
