Hi remus....your TOA looks really impressive.

For that 1 inch increase in aperture, the actual scope is like twice the size of the 4" .....YUM

Wow that refractor is huge! And is that the new WO Ezy-Touch mount on the left?

yes, it is huge i must admit. the outer tube diameter is similar to AP155. Both tubes use the same tube rings! I would pre-empt Kelvin... yes it is the new Ezy Touch! It was quite touchy actually... [smilie=cute.gif]

gosh, the new emoticons are cute! yuk yuk!

I am considering the Ezy Touch. Anyone can give a short review of this mount? Particularly like to know how easy it is to track an object using this mount at high power (~200x). Thanks!
