Yes, you read it right ;-)! Stephen O'Meara has joined the 5-incher club with his brand spanging new 5-inch Tele Vue NP127 "light cup" ;-)!!! I'm willing to bet my 20mm TV Plossl ;-);-) that this will be the "genesis" ;-) of his next book on the H.400 using his NP127!

Congratulation Stephen!

Hi Ron
I'm new to this thread. Can you explain to me why the very capable NP101 was passed over by most widefield photographers in favour of the Tak FSQ-106 ? The specs on both are pretty well identical, except the longer tube length of the NP. I seem to be missing something. Any ideas on this ?
