  • Takahashi EM-10 , what a deal?

    From StarDust@21:1/5 to All on Sun Nov 21 21:13:07 2021
    eBay item number:203587833884

    I heard good things about the EM-10, but I have a feeling this one has some problems, that's why no cables, controller are offered?
    Seller said, can't test it.

    Same mount. Well-built, but dated.

    Same seller!
    Ebay has selling fees, though!
    I met someone at the star party, he used a Tak mount, 90 mm Tak refractor, he said he can track supper accurate up to 1 hr to 1.5 hr, guided.
    He was doing 1 shot DSO images, no stacking!

    Tak Sky90 (only 90mm Tak I know of) is about 500mm focal length. So it's possible.

    Yep, that's tha one!
    It just didn't pop in my mined last night!
    Guy said, he wanted a very portable set up and that's why he choose the Tak mount and scope.
