Ultimate window shopping experience

Hi all,

CFF Telescopes recently released a new catalogue, and I thought some of us might be interested to have a look at what they have to offer.

Happy window shopping!

Can I ask, how easy is it to guide well at 8 metres?!?!?!?!

Probably easier than obtaining royal assent for the purchase!

I nearly pulled a trigger but then I realised that I would need to ask strong Mike to give me a few hints how to increase my upper body strength so I could actually lift the beast!

These Cassegrains are designed for planetary/Moon imaging, so no need to guide :-)
