Just defected (forgive me Mike for I have sinned..:ashamed: ..temporarily of course) over to another forum in the US, found it from a link of one of our members square_peg114GT and spotted this truss dob with a pup...:thumbsup:

That's reproduction by budding. Wish my scope would start to grow one.

I think if you can afford one of those, you could probably afford your own postage fleet :D

Biggest I've seen in person was a 25" at a star party. I'm too big of a klutz to get that high up on a ladder in the dark :scared2: .
That and the line was a mile long to look through it :zzz2:

Biggest I've actually looked through was an 18". Was some pretty impressive views and fortunately, the ladder wasn't quite as tall as the 25" :cool:

look at the naglers, and the finderscope looks like Scotts 10". Bl..dy old bugger with retirement funds. they think they are set, imagine at their age climbing a really tall ladder at night, with age blindness...........not that I am jealous, I don't suffer from scope envy :whistle:

Oh I want one too... I wonder when the GSO 14"s 16"s.
I wonder what that 32" costs delivered?

Nahhh! It's gotta be trick photography. Probably only a 114mm truss Tasco on a Hanimex base with 'Realistic' GoTo gizmo.

Yep, that's what it is! :D

That thing would double-up as an awesome sun dial during the day.

The scope in the original image is a 30". The EQ platform tracks for about 50 minutes. The view I had of the Veil thru a pair of Denk II's with Pan 24's was really something.

I'm also interested in a 14" or 16" GSO. I love my 8" and would keep it for grab-n-go. Just at times and at star parties I'd like a bit more aperture. A GSO-priced 16" would be awesome.
