Yes I saw them being advertised on Anacortes Astromart.

I have seen their website before. I was reading the specs on their 16 inch. Maximum spot sizes 1.5 microns at 25mm off axis if I read it correctly. That is way impressive.

Plus Mike Sidonio can finally get his F4 Newtonian with confidence.

I love the truss Newts they look sensational. I bet they really perform.

That is a very nice system!!!....both the RC and Newts:)

I'd be very interested to see how they perform.

I must admit they are very special, but the price is out of this world. considering the newts don't even come with a corrector unless purchased nore do they include the shipping box in that price. you basically get the OTA with a standard FT focuser for 25K + the customs and GST unless you have money to burn these are a bit out of most peoples range.

but still very special

I live 30 km away from Alluna Optics and I've seen the RC-Telescope last week. It is wonderful, great quality telescope! I would like to buy...
I think the RC is not too expensive.
The newtonians may appear expensive but there are no comparable quality. Alluna produces good optics, in europe very well known for it.

keep an eye on these guys the uro is about to fall through the floor so it mau be cheaper then you think. Our EU friends are about to learn a hard lesson in the down side of their union.
