Having used both Peter's 20" and Patricks 16", I can say they are both delightful telescopes. Patrick's 16' is later generation and has particularly nice motions in both axis. Hopefully I will see the new one this weekend.

The down side of this type of design is that they are pretty bulky to transport.

BTW notice both 16"ers have curved spider vanes.

Hi Mark, I thought Patrick's was F5.5?? I guess at F4 a Paracor will live virtually permantly in the focuser.

Cheers,
