Beat the falling dollar and a very long wait for one of these great scopes.
Full Argo Navis/ServoCat Tracking/GOTO.
Eyepiece height at zenith is 162cm so no ladder required.
SDM #30 started life in 2009 with a premium USA mirror.
In November 2012 the mirror was re-ground and re-figured by Mark Suchting.
At the same time Peter Read of SDM upgraded the scope to close to current specs.
Since then I have only used the scope about six times so everything is still
in excellent condition.
Comes with a Televue visual PVL-2008 Paracorr,
Howie Glatter 2" Laser collimator with 1mm aperture stop
and a Howie Glatter 2" TuBlug.
