Planetary Scope

Came across this. Looks like a dedicated F25 planetary scope in 10" and 12" variations.

oh my god that site is full of spyware and popups.

Paolo Lazzarotti posts on AstroMart solar system forums. He's one of the best planetary/lunar imagers in the world.

He does some amazing stuff, and those telescopes are very nice.

I even got a .exe popup in Linux. I could install wine and try to run it.

One major problem I can see with those scopes is dew.

Sorry my system ignores all of that!

Looks like this new scope (over 6000 euros!) has superceeded all the other Astomeccanica stuff. I can't find any data on the software for the DA-1 controller. I'm trying to hook this up to Starry Night Pro and need more info. Mo response to multiple emails either.

If you are not running Ad-aware AND Spybot as well as a good virus program, you are always open to these puerile attempts.

I just emailed Franco no problem. Have had numerous replies.

Sorry, I ignored the scope and checked out the.exe file that came free with the website!
Lucky I've got a mac!!
