The SDM scope isn't a particularly short focal length - it's f/5, but with a folded light path - three mirrors with the eyepiece half way up the tube instead of at the top.

However, the SDM site says on the prices page:

"The Compact scope is no longer made or offered. All scopes are classic style only."
