This beautiful Takahashi was an impulse buy that may not really suit my needs as much I thought at the time......
I doubt I will have time to learn imaging after all
so will look toward another scope.
SO .... (at the risk of sounding like my good mate Lewis ..)
I am considering selling my recent acquisition, a Takahashi FSQ106ED scope although it is only 5mths old, supplied by AEC in September 2014 and is Serial number # 14089, that is, the 89th FSQ made in 2014.
