Theo,

Prime Optics located in Queensland were the supposed designers. They set the design tolerances for optical spacing and decentration. Whether they were involved at the concept stage I don't know.

Interestingly the telescope was initially advertised as a CDK. After being in possession of the scope for a couple of months (by which stage I knew I had a real disaster on my hands), I was notified by the manufacturer to stop publicly referring to it as a CDK. Suddenly it became a "unique design".

You can draw your own conclusions.

Regards

Steven
