We're pleased to note that these premium scopes come fitted with
Argo Navis Digital Telescope Computers in conjunction with ServoCAT
slew and track servo controller systems.
These instruments are built by Normand Fullum of Télescopes Normand Fullum
in Quebec, Canada on behalf of Orion. Some pictures that Normand sent us
of the 36" prototype are attached.
Those interested in the art of telescope making may be familiar with some
of Normand's previous telescopes built in beautiful timbers with exotic detailing.
Pictures of one of these scopes, a 16" f4.5 made in rosewood, can be
found on our web site here at these locations -

Normand's scopes routinely turn heads at Stellafane, home of the
Springfield Telescope Makers club in Vermont, every year.
