Ultralight Dobs

A mate of mine is about to retire to the road and wants to rekindle his old love of astronomy. He will be space-poor (though time-rich) so is looking at ultra-light dobs. Being fully equipped with ten thumbs and lacking the necessary tools, building one is not feasible. He came across this site http://www.hubbleoptics.com/UL16.html and asked me if I'd heard of them, which I haven't.

Has anyone heard anything about this manufacturer? Alternatively, who else makes similar instruments? He wants Goto and tracking. PM me if you like.

thanks,
David
