I am fortunate to have a friend with a Takahashi TSA-102. I asked her advice regarding the scope, and she offered to let me borrow it. No kidding. Taking up this very generous offer, I was pleased a few nights ago to gather 20x4' hours worth of data in Cygnus. I wasn't even sure where the scope was pointing. I just wanted to see what the image looked like and how the processing went.
Behold! What I like most about this scope is the shape of the stars. Wow! They are perfect. The colors are also nice. This image was gathered with the SXVF-H9C and a Celestron LPR filter that happened to be lying about. I did not bother to calibrate the color, as I do not where this is yet. But the contrasting colors are easy to see.
