Hi Martin...you were absolutely right. It is definitely a short tube refractor and the seller description of the mount was also incorrect. He described the mount as Altazimuth and I'm pretty sure it's a German Equitorial Mount (GEM). I'm a beginner so correct me if I'm wrong. Must say that it's in mint condition and tried some terrestrial viewing (image upside down) today with the 25mm Plossl and the image was bright and crisp, not so bright though with the 10mm Plossl (less light of course). I looked at the webcam you suggested and all good reports...although there is some suggestion that production is discontinued. I have to do some research now on setup for the GEM...looks a little complicated. Cheers Martin...Gary.
