Too cool for school.

Check out the second part and the 'bit part' in the video
by the creator of the Argo Navis.
Cool guy.

I really think this could be it for me!!!

It's like this,
You're going over to New York soon, no better way to test their transportation claims with this scope then to bring it back on the plane with you when you come back, possible of course except that there is a que a mile long for this scope.

Frank,

Thanks for the video. Although the collimation was not addressed, it was quite impressive at how quickly and easily one can setup the components.

My only problem is the inability to load such a scope on a german equatorial mount due to the tremendous imbalance with the mirror end being so heavy.
