Oh, and there is one other under-the-radar Mak Cass out there - the Saxon 8" Mak!
There are not many of these out there, but these have been a real sleeper that was unfortunately a victim of essentially being ahead of its time when very few people understood what a Maksutov was and SCT's were all that was known and trusted. A real shame as these really were a very good instrument that can be user collimated, unlike the Meade 7".
Sadly too, these are no longer in production - haven't been for a number of years too. A damn fine scope.
