I am wondering if there is someone here with practical experience with the new Takahashi 1.5x extender for the TAK Epsilon 130D ? It offers 630mm focal length at F/5.0 and it is supposed to work with the full frame sensors too. If the optical quality is good enough it might be an alternative to buying a bigger telescope.
Anyone with a Takahashi Epsilon 130D using the new 1.5x extender ?
