Oh goodness, a steampunk counterweight knob. How quaint.
I must say that the Italian definition of style is MUCH preferred over Skywatcher's new complete tackiness (almost as gad-awful as Celestron's "styling" which is grotesque at best!) - SW's vomitous green anodising is just the pits, let alone the craptacular "Black diamond" and Gold Series they have been pumping out for decades.
Anyway, in the end, people say what does it matter in the dark. There is a LOT of truth in that sentiment, but, thanks to the wonderous changes in weather phenomenon, we probably spend more time looking AT our telescopes than through them.
