Awesome yeah! I was thinking about the longer focal length tho?

The good thing about such an arrangement is the mirror can even be spherical if it's more than f/10. I want a 15" f/10, hell yeah! The bottom half will be buried in a wine cellar with the top half at ground level. LOL!!!

Also he don't list prices,

See later this year i'm gonna buy myself something interesting for planets, so it's gonna be a Saxon Mac, or an Obsession or....... ? I've talked about it heaps on here! But these long focus gems are amazing. I would love one of these!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have an f/5 with an early 2000s focuser and it's annoying! Saturn looks like a normal face and then when i release hand from focuser it defocus to this and i don't want a crayford either, i need a whole NEW SCOPE! LOL!!!
