well, this guy is a master carpenter so I guess he knows what he's doing.
I remember the article in sky&telescope that he refers to where a clever trick in the design eliminates astigmatism induced by the off axis mirror system.
I'd be very interested in seeing through such a scope.
He makes these scope to order so if you want one of these, then he's the man!.
There eyepiece position mimicks a SCT or refractor, the real drawback is the cost of 2 big mirrors and the long focal length.
