Hi, and thanks for the add to the group. I am looking for some information on the innards on the EM-200 with Emma 2 . I recently bought a used mount and it has some issues and I wanted to find any and all information available. I am having problems with any DEC movement via hand control and although the hand control will move RA in HS it wont move without hand control inputs. I would also like to find a manual for the EM-200 mount itself, I have found an Emma 2 instruction manual that is short and explains switch use and some of the hand control. Thanks, Vaughn

What Tak gear are you all using?

I recently acquired a 2006 E-180 and am having some trouble collimating the scope for imaging. I've just been trying to use the Tak collimation tools (crosshair sight tube and collimating eyepiece) and I can get it sort of close (but not really). I believe most of the problem is in the secondary rotation and tilt. I have sought advice elsewhere and people have told me many different options for other tools to use for collimation but each system is different and I'm quite confused. So I'm looking for advice on what tools I should get to collimate this beast. What are the easiest and most accurate tools to use? I think the only way to truly get perfect collimation is to do a star test. But what has me confused also is that it seems nearly impossible to collimate under the stars. All the instructions give directions for daylight collimation, but I don't see how that could be accurate enough for night time imaging. joel

My interest is if we could await larger sizes of the FOA telescope range in the near future from Takahashi ? Currently only a 60mm is available - nice would be FOA100Q with f15... What is your opinion ?
