SDM 16" Truss Dob

It is with extreme regret that I must find a new owner for SDM38 and move on...

Immaculate, as new condition and extremely well cared for. This telescope has not been transported except for its initial delivery. Wonderful images to compliment the well-known reputation of SDM's construction quality.
