Is it just me, or is this the most impressive PST mod in the known universe?

From the website - "Peter is working on various modifications to the Coronado P.S.T. unit and we are getting nice results. "

Is that pic for real?

Yep, that pic is for real, the website is a bit out of date.

That is mighty impressive.

Unfortunately they had a break in and had a lot of gear stolen mostly a lot of Peters personal stuff, real low lives.

I know it's a long shot but it's pretty specialised equipment so if anyone see any on the markets then give Peter a shout.

Easy and safe, if you understand what is involved and do the conversion properly. I have a 102mm PST mod.....
