Steffan,
from Chris's less than glamourous picture and description, it is. The scope(s) are what is known as a Telementor 2, the first version (Telemntor One) having a helical/external focuser. This model (the Telementor 2) has a sliding "draw-tube" inside the OTA proper which the objective rides in, thus accomplishing focus. The rear section, with eyepiece or whatever remains fixed.
I have owned many of them, and still have the earlier still version called the AS63/840.
They are a simple doublet, but they are without peer, the images are simply stunning. Plus they have that "rare" factor.
