Hi tphilip
are you still selling your fc100?

No I sold the FC100 to Markus Ludes in Germany - didn't seem a lot of interest here and it was a bit too bulky for me as it didn't fit in my dry cabinet even though it was a really nice telescope. I now have a FS78 (and this FS60C). But my mount doesn't work at the equator.

. Hopefully I'll get a Vixen porta mount when I next visit Japan although the skies here aren't so good for observing and I never seem to have much free time. I'm sort of spoilt as I used to go observing north of Adelaide in Australia where the skies are really dark and steady.
Cheers,
Tim

Hi,
Are you the guy who sold me the Tak Or 18mm?
Really nice guy with Japan goods in excellent condition and very good prices.

Hi Meng Lee,
Yes you got the Tak ortho from me - they are pretty good eyepieces for the price. Small and very sharp. Also I'm going to post the FS60C on astromart, I don't think its so much use here. Its a bit too small and a bit too expensive for a birding scope.

Hi,
Yes that eyepiece is one of my frequently used ones.
FS60C is a bit too expensive as guidescope. But it can well be used as an imaging scope as it is very sharp. Just like TV 60. Ok, hope the deal goes through at Astromart.
