Small Fast Refractor

[Jeff]

This looks fantastic - does anybody know where I can get one of these?
It appears to be very portable and well suited to heavily light polluted skies.

Hi,

I think these days you can do far better for your money. Say 200 AUD for a short tube 80mm Saxon and maybe 300 AUD for a fully goto ioptron mount. It's only my opinion but the aperture of that scope is tiny and the mount looks very wobbly.

Looks like a good scope for indoor use I have a few boxes of averted vision if you need them

I've bookmarked that review. It's a rare pleasure to see one treat the test in such an objective manner. I'd use the Tak to guide one of these Fisher Price scopes - IF I can ever get to buy one. I think they sound so good that you'd probably never see one for sale though.

To all those lucky current owners out there..... die, die, die!!!!!

If you were real lucky maybe they would agree to swap it for the Tak.

I've never seen them do a review like that before - who would have guessed they had a sense of humour? I especially liked the well baffled tube and mating it to the Losmandy mount

Now that latest model, is a real peace of work. love to get my hands on one.
