Hi group,
This is my first post to IIS,

Has anyone cannibalised the parts of the Bintel 12 inch Dobs
and used them for a GEM-Newt arrangement?
Apart from the one review on here I have read, is there any
review on the optical quality of the 12inch primary available?

The Bintel scopes value seems too good to be true....
A few Plossls, Crayford focuser, what seems to be a good
Chinese primary...steel tube.
I was thinking of getting one just to use the bits for a GEM
config in my observatory.

Any thoughts would be very appreciated,

Cheers,
Steve.
