Harry,
I have a TMB-152 and use it with a Pentax 67-II camera. For 6x7 film
one needs the field flattner.
For 35mm or CCD it is not needed.
I have been trying to get some pictures with it, but I am still
learning the ropes. Also can't get out on new moons over quite a few
months, which is a long
story! Anyway, the color correction is right
on and looking at my slide shots, I see the stars are
perfect to the
edge. I have some images at tim.povlick.com, but not sure if you
will be able to
get into it, web / IP-addressing problem which should be
resolved soon. I am trying to get some
pics from the last
time out put in place also. I am at the web-servers mercy as you
can tell.
Someone posted some terrific images awhile back on this list.
TMB imagers are indeed out there....
