TSA-102s vs FSQ-106

Posted By Jay Ouellet

Hi
Has anyone field-compared the new TSA-102S vs the FSQ-106 in terms of image contrast and high power sharpness for VISUAL use ?
I am only interested in the VISUAL aspect of these fine scopes.
Thank you
Jay

TSA-102s vs FSQ-106

Great input guys. As I wrote in my initial thread, I want a visual scope. I imaged for 10 years and recently sold both my AP's. Now I just wanna relax with a sharp, contrasty, lightweight and portable scope. The TSA-102s makes sense to me.
Thanks to all of ya!

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 ?
