Iv'e got one of these and they are optically awesome! Mine regularly outperforms some of the bigger scopes in my considerable fleet of scopes. It's the first scope I bought for myself sometime around 1990. It is responsible for starting my business, Astro Tours, that has been doing star shows 4 to 6 nights a week in Broome, Western Australia since 1995. I did think it was 5.6 to 1, focal length 1400mm? If you built mine Mark, thank you very much! Nice work!
