Which is better for imaging... the TOA-150 or FSQ106 ?? Knowing very little about either scope, it seems that TOA-150 would be the obvious choice. So, why use the 150 as a guide scope for the FSQ...?
I think you have to have great amount of money to use Takahashi FSQ-106ED refractor as a guiding scope. You can get a simple 80mm achromat for 200+ bucks instead of spending thousands of them on one TAK to look at one star! My friend made a guiding scope with auto-guide out of a Skywatcher 80ED refractor's finder and it works very well with that ED scope or his OO 250mm newtonian. I'm just saying.
Beautiful setup !!!!!
There are completely different focal lengths and f ratios so it would depend on the imaging target as to which scope is best.
Sometime I use the TOA 150 refractor as a guding scope for the FSQ...
Bellissima attrezzatura complimenti!!!

:o
takahashi's are so good looking holy crap
@correl44 Big scope already has a finder on it if you pay closer attention.
@TheMeanEYE Well.. it seems that you don't pay much attention to Haalinn's joke: the 150 as a guiding scope for the 106... (got it?) :)
Nice gear. I hope you take a lot of images and videos with it.

So quiet! So smooooothe... so jealous...
how much did the whole setup cost you?
Really cool！！！I use a JP mount, but EM500&TOA150 is wonderful, isn't it?
天体観測ははまるとヤバいからなぁ^_^
この外国の方もスライディングルーフ式観測室まで建ててる！
I am a Japanese. Of past, Japan did not appear on television?
Remarkable setup!
RUclips awaits your videos!
NICE SETUP..!!
Ah, the things money can buy

うむ。ゴージャス！
多分ザッと見で200万円は超えてそう！！でもこれを生涯の趣味とすれば決して高い金額ではないはず！
