Yes, looks like it... so that's a C14, right?
The C stands for Cassegrain. It's a reflector with a clear corrector
plate at the front covering the opening. There are Schmidt-Cassegrains
and Maksutov-Cassegrains and they have different types of corrector
plates.
Get yourself a copy of the November issue of the BBC Sky at Night
Magazine, it has all about telescopes this month.
Pete Lawrence also does a monthly article on astrophotography.
Great, thanks for the magazine suggestion and explanation.
