The REAL Skyahashi

Imitation really is the sincerest form of flattery it seems.

The similarities to the Tak FSQ106 cannot be ignored, because it's downright copied At least SW had the sense to make the focuser a direct copy R&P, wisely deciding not to put a slip-o-matic Crayford on it

Be interesting to compare them side by side with the FSQ. Price really is not much different either.

They are getting into some serious scope territory there.

A guy in our group is using the 120, and he's producing some of the finest work I've seen out there. Admittedly he's swapped the focuser for a Feathertouch though.
