I think you'll find that they've labeled *everything* Black Diamond - including f/4 imaging newts, standard f/5 newts, flex tube dobs, and maks. I don't know if this is something that Andrews have done, or if Skywatcher has labeled themselves.

By the way, I've found that the Skywatcher website can be misleading (e.g. incorrect f-numbers and focal lengths were listed on many of their scopes the last time I checked).

Anyway, I happen to quite like Andrews' approach of putting the manufacturers' entire product range on the one page
