ASTRO: Scopes of Stellafane 07: 16-inch Dob
This ATM scope was a winner in prior years. This year it was set up right
next to my scope. The scope featured an attached laptop running a planetarium program (but it's not GoTo), and more fans than a hover-craft. Also the spherical primary is warped into a parabola using mechanical force. It held its shape without adjustment both nights. For some strange reason (to me anyway) the owner and his buddies spent at least 2 hours looking at Neptune and it's moon Triton. "Yes I see it!" "Let me see.....", etc. Personally I'd use such a beautiful scope under such dark sky looking for nebulae and star clusters!! George N |
