Takahashi TOA130s
I puchased Takahashi TOA130s in 2006. I have been using this telescope to take an image with my SBIG STL11000M camera. This telescope is excellent poformance. In fact, it is my favorite one in my own telescopes.
I use one with the 2.7inch focuser. There are some vignetting in the field. But I really don't concern about it. I place the vignetting picture which I has taken with this telescope First of all, thank you very much for coming my website. I really appreciate it. I hope you enjoy browsing my website.My name is Takayuki Yoshida. I live in Takarazuka city that is a pleasant suburban district in Japan. Most of my photograph were taken from my back yard at first. But light polluted in the sky have became harder and harder every year. So I decided to visit to country side to take a good image.I have a dream that I have a remote observatory in dark location such as New Mexico.
I had my first contact with astronomy when my uncle showed me the jupiter with a telescope. So, I For many years I forgot about that but I finally came back to astronomy when I lived in Takarazuka city. So, I bought a typical reflector with 130mm diameter because I wanted to take a photograph with it. Finally, I bought a Takahashi Telescope and an CCD camera such as SBIG ST2000XM. I started to take an image using CCD camera.
My astrophotographs has been published on various Japanese magazines. And my Andromeda photo was featured in the Universe Today. It's a great honor for me.
I keep taking a photo of celestial object, beatutiful wonder in the Universe!
