I have changed my mind about selling this telescope.
I am organising a small quartz secondary 1/100 wave mirror to turn
it into a planet killer.
A smaller secondary mirror will give it a better contrast ratio
than the 2.25" mirror now installed making it fantastic for planets.
I will still have my new 10" f4 for imaging.
The primary mirror was made by a person who left Takahashi
to make their own mirrors so that & the high quality focuser with
the Carl Zeiss flocking paper already installed along the whole inside length
will give wonderful planet contrast.
It may also be good for doing high resolution pictures of bright
targets like the Trapezium.
cheers
Allan
