And Logan presenting cost as a con shows clearly that he realises this scope is not for anyone who puts price first and quality and performance second.
Very clever to head off that kind of person from wasting his precious time.
And as to accesories similar stratagy particularly when you realise that supurb quality accessories are even avaiable for such a classic scope.
How I wish my scopes had such a robust and accurate approach to the fabrication of their focuser.
This scope of course does not need a unnecessarily complex dual focuser because it works so precisely where as cheaper scopes must resort to lesser methods in an attempt to emulate the precision of this scientific instrument.
The makers saw the folly of adding too much to this scope via trivial piggy back cameras but still provided a solid sensible non flexing auxiliary mount facility that surpasses those who seek to add a plethora of un necessary unproductive items.
The absence of a fan reflects the dedication to purpose the designer demanded with this scope and clearly has left the attaching of an accessory fan to an accessory manufacturer or a owner who can fabricate a removable unit...
Having a permanent built in fan is like putting air conditioning in a ferari...
Because this scope is designed with perfection in mind and the only consideration and if one is happy to image in less than ideal conditions perhaps choose a scope that includes gum boots and an umbrella.
For this is the scope that one takes to those locations where perfection justifies the journey.
The culmination method is the ultimate system not overly complex but designed for owners that like to know that when culminated this scope is exceptionally solid and has none of the issues the owners of cheap less well designed scopes must accept if they insist on putting price before superb quality.
I am surprised Lewis has not tried to actually buy this scope but perhaps its exceptional quality has him thinking that such an exceptionally perfect instrument is perhaps too much scope even for him.
This just isnt any ordinary scope and I cant imagine anyone talking Logan into parting with it...at any price because really this is what we think about when we say priceless...such craftmanship just doesnot exist in this era of compromise.

Again, very well spoken Alex, and i believe you are right, this scope truly is perfection.
All the dissections of my points i completely agree with
