Is the SS worth $500 more? thanks Post Extras:       spaceydee Postmaster Reged: 04/16/04 Loc: Where the Kittens Are Re: TMB 92SS APO, A quick one night observing session [Re: salty]       #5271480 - 06/14/12 03:51 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   I have the tank like version of the TMB (non L) and I like it a lot. The feathertouch focuser is awesome. You might want to check in the refractor section and ask about the L version and experiences with the focuser.

Re: TMB 92SS APO, A quick one night observing session [Re: salty]       #5271801 - 06/14/12 07:27 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Optics are the same. However, the SS has a collimatable lens cell, the focuser is a Feather Touch, and it has an extension ring that lets you use a binoviewer without needing a Barlow when the extension is removed. The SS extension also lets you use verrrry long imaging equipment trains when it's removed.
