Now this is grunt: a 13" f11.5 refractor!

This thread covers the Equipment, DIY, Observing & Visual, Solar System fora all in one so I struggled where it would be best to place it

A South Korean amateur wasn't happy with his 8" refractor - so he made himself a 13" f11.5 one

I haven't seen his scope, but this sketch of Saturn is just something special. I would love to see his rig:

A decent quality 13" F11.5 refractor would be a planetary marvel
