RE: [APML] Opinions on TV-85 vs. Tak 102-106

["Gene Horr" <genehorr@houston.rr.com>]

I don't.  If you have a copy of Wide Field Astrophotography
you'll see a plethora of pics taken with Ed Szczepanski's
102 at 6x4.5cm.  It makes a great camera as well as visual
instrument.

Personally I would discount the hot spot issue unless you
shoot from a light polluted area.  All of the prints I've
seen where taken from dark sites and no vignetting is visible.

I would more compare the extra speed, smaller length, and
larger format coverage of the 106 with the 102 and decide
based upon that whether it is worth the extra money.

Do you, or anyone else you know with the 102, have any problems with
the dreaded hot spot?
