A little while a go I order a RC from
http://www.deepskyinstruments.com/home.htm, This is a new company using the famous
http://www.star-instruments.com/ optics, ie the ones used by
http://www.rcopticalsystems.com The main difference being that they use pyrex glass rather then
Russian AstroSitall . So the optics will not be as stable as a top of the line RC but hell for 1/3 the price it will do me while I save up for the 14 inch from RC Optical. It should be comming soon, so the clouds will be rolling in, sorry guys'n'gals. I will give a full report. Here is a interesting link the shows some of the assemble and testing.
