Thanks ALexandra

It's alive again and there is a small AR coming around the link. Maybe I will observe again at the end of the afternoon (holiday in Portugal)

Check out my new OTA (TMB175mm F/8 carbon fiber tube) - 23Kg

best regards

Ok Pedro now I am Jealous.What a beautiful bit of kit.I will be interested in how this performs not only on the Sun but for viewing the planets.
A great addition to your scope stable.

Thanks again guys

The new OTA is 14 years old. It performs really well. I used it a few years ago to observe planets mainly. It belonged to a friend. I will keep you posted.

I intend to use it with the Takahashi EM200. Maximum weight with this mount is 18Kg but I guess it will work.
