[APML] Returning to AP - scope advice

[Joel_Haynes@powderject.com]

Folks,

After a several year hiatus, I'm excited about returning to AP and am
seeking advice about the relative virtues of the TV NP101 and the Tak
FSQ-106.  (I'm on the notification list for an A.-P. 130 but I'll need
something to get me through the long wait.)  Previously, I had good luck
with a TV Genesis (non SDF) (see ftp://voltaire.csun.edu/haynes.dir/  for a
couple of scanned in, unprocessed prints).  I understand that the NP101 is
a step up form the older Genesis in terms of color correction and other
aberrations, but I'm not sure what the Tak has to offer over the 101 other
than the 4'' focuser.

Thanks in advance for any advice.
