Colmic is back with a new setup!!
Hi all,
sorry sorry sorry for these monthes of silence, but i bought a new house with my girlfriend, with a great-oriented garden
Last month i bought a new setup too.
Before : Tak TOA 130 + EM200 + modified PST + 2 SM90 + BF15
After : Tak TSA 120 + Vixen Sphinx SXD + 2 SM90 in DS + BF15.
I gain 6kg on optic, 8kg on mount, 10kg on counterweights (only one 3,7kg with the Sphinx !!) and 10kg on tripod !!!
Now i can carry all the setup from house to garden !
Here are my first tests with this new setup + Grasshopper3 ICX674.
Full-disc from yesterday, 12 panes mosaic with Barlow TV 1,8x :
Full-disc from 8 march (my birthday !), 4 panes mosaic at prime focus :
Zoom from 8 march, with Barlow 1,8x :
Zooms from 6 march, with Barlow 1,8x :

Re: Colmic is back with a new setup!!
Thank you all, happy to come back with you You missed me!
Alex, yes competition is back ! But actually i have some problems to adjust correctly the two SM90 together. Constrast on filaments is not as good as expected.
My new garden is far better exposed, i can image Sun from East to west, and the best is at south
Here in France, weather is clear for several days, yeahh!
