Looks like a nice travelscope and a nice bit of kit - bet it costs heaps .

Spotted this checking out Astronomy Alives Site.

Very nice. Wish I had the money to buy one - but my money is earmarked that Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS USM + front LPF + a EF 2x type II L extender which I'll get more use out of (not just astronomy) when the exchange moves back up a tad).

A fine looking instrument indeed Ian,

Andrews' has the WO 132mm triplet fluorite f/7 OTA at $5399... maybe one day. My Orion 102ED at f/7 has been a big surprise, its been 20 years since I looked through a 4" refractor (a Unitron 4" f/15) - not only was it a huge improvement, but I can see why people are addicted to these short refractors. It makes me wonder seriously what THIS would be like: a 203mm f/7 APO... llooks like 70kg for the OTA and a tad under $50,000...
