Hello again. Yes it is the same scope. He made this himself, and yes it is well made. I think he got the mirror from USA. He showed me the package it came in. The gears are well made. I have no trouble keeping up smoothly with the moon using a super 10 eyepiece. I can see right inside the craters of the moon or see the moons of Jupiter. It also has an azimuth motor and controller.

Hope this helps
