Default New Celestron telescopes at the PMA show


Reporting from the PMA convention in Las Vegas, Celestron has just
unveiled their new 20" Dall-Kirkham Cassegrain on a massive American
mount. The scope has three rings, carbon fiber tube, struts similar to
the old Cassegrains. It's HUGE and is drawing lots of attention.

Celestron is also showing their new 6, 8, 10" Dobs, with Guan Sheng
optics and a 130mm Maksutov.

Pictures will be posted on Saturday.

Hi:

If only it were a C22...next best thing I guess. ;-)
