Now if only it had a mirror cell that securely supported the mirror in all orientations rather than a sling.

Would then be a good dual purpose scope that could be used dob style or mounted on the top of a good GEM (ie an Atlux )

First, a disclaimer. Obsession Telescopes is a customer of Wildcard Innovation's
Argo Navis DTC.

When Dave brought out the 18 UC in May 2007, he told be one of the main
motivations was that he foresaw many people would be downsizing their
cars with the rising price of gasoline.

As we all know, Americans are famous for their love of larger cars and pickup trucks.
However, todays announcement of a huge quarterly loss by General Motors
as well as big downturns announced by Toyota, particularly in their
Lexus division, hint that that long love affair for the larger car and pickup
truck might well be a little shaky at the moment.

It's reassuring to know that one can get something like an 18 UC or the new
15 UC and that they will fit in the back of just about any commodity car,
irrespective of the size of its boot. I reckon Dave was on the right track.

Best Regards
