Default ASTRO: Scopes of Stellafane 07 - 18" F/4

OK..... this is the scope that won "everything"; First place in "mechanical"
and "craftsmanship. It's a 18-inch F/4 Newtonian made by Ross Sackett of
Memphis TN. It is so light that one person can pick it up and carry it
around like a 'traditional' 8-inch Dob!!

I wish Art had taken a better picture of this beautiful scope. If you want
it better check the Stellafane website.
