The rest of the budget would be spent on adapters, cables and other stuff I've forgot. Plus a small refractor for widefield too - but it would have to be second hand as somehow a new one wouldn't fit in the £10k budget kekw

yeah that's true but it's not that big of a deal Imo, weird that they don't mention a payload with a cw tho

#

Why has no one bought a Takahashi with this budget?

proper granite
#

a good tak takes about 7.5k, doesn't leave much room for anything else

fallow tapir
#

Plenty of room just go used for everything else

proper granite
#

hard to predict used stuff prices tho

fallow tapir
#

I'll blow half my budget on a Takahashi newt

#

Think they have an f/2.8 hyperbolic

#

That's roki levels of light

proper granite
#

the epsilon I think

proper granite
#

a little out of everyone budget tho

fallow tapir
#

only half the budget

theres still plenty enough left to get a good mount and such

(Epsilon does not need a coma corrector, its corrector is already integrated into the focuser)

I don't really know much about AP anymore

#

I do love the tak 180 however

fallow tapir
#

you love the takahashi newts

willow orbit
#

I could stare at the stars forever

#

I do like their fracs just as much though, stars always have great color and the details are super sharp

#

I think the epsilon series has a 160 too but I dont know much about it

fallow tapir
#

epsilon 160d

#

beautiful

#

takahashi newts have beautiful colors and ridiculous sharpness

all their scopes in general

It's marvelous
