Its probably the same mirror as used in the Meade Lightbridge. Would be interested to see the price. I'll ask Patrick at TS and post back.
Thanks Trevor.

Looks like a stripped down lightbridge, easier to transport and looks like it uses less wood.
I wonder how robust is this 3 pole system.??

I got a reply from Patrck at TS. The price is not yet agreed but they hope it will be around €2,000. The 16" Lightbridge is £1,499 from BC&F.

so, 1877e vs 2000e given current exchange rates, fairly comparable.

Sounds quite affordable. A 16 inch Dob for €2000. Dave Lillis, how much was the motorisation kit for your Dob?
