It doesn't need much of an explanation as it looks like a very high quality refractor. It has a carbon fibre optical tube with 2.5" 2-speed focuser and is made specifically for astrophotgraphy. How can you resist?

I'm not sure much it is going to cost down here in Oz but I am definitely considering for my next scope.

What do you think?

Have a look here,

Matty there is nothing like someone to go and try - I have done that the 100 would be nice but larger aperture is always KING . Why even RB has a small cheap and nasty 150mm scope with i believe a takky 130mm guidescope in the chookpen. he said he like quality, but to me he has quantity (for the amount of time he uses his stuff - might as well be in a museum along with my stuff?) Take the step Mat.......

PS it does look nice......
