Various of these also come up for sale second hand, from time to time if you are patient.
You can buy truss dobs from overseas (USA mostly), but shipping will be significant. There are kit makers overseas which might reduce shipping costs, but you would need to fit them out yourself with mirrors, focusser etc. |
Eric I think he is more interested in the Long focal length as he wants it as planetary scope.
I think he would have to find someone who makes that kind of mirrors as most mirrors are made for shorter focal length scopes these days .
