Bears some remarkable similarities to the expected GSO 16" dob.....

Bears more similarities to the Skywatcher and Saxon Dobs. The concertina storage method is a great idea, and very Japanese.

Cheers,

agreed, however I was more interested in the fold-away design :)

Just looking at the pics I have reservations about the skinny poles and the mechanical stability. Still, more choices in telescopes is a good thing :)

The idea is good but the execution of that style scope would be a real challenge.
