I'm going to have the littlest SDM so far! This is so exciting!

Hi Erick,
Congratulations, you will really love your new SDM telescope. Enjoy it. An SDM structure with GSO Optics is an excellent cheaper cost pathway to a great telescope.
I have had SDM #33 for 2 weeks now and it is an absolutely outstanding telescope in every respect. Superb craftsmanship from both the telescope maker (Peter Read) and the mirror maker (Carl Zambuto). As I commented to Peter the other day on the phone, "This is likely to be the best 14" telescope on the planet at the present time".
Cheers,
John B
