There is not pictures of it assembled it just says attach the top section it is a bit of an optical illusion as it’s more on side than it looks

Sorry I don’t follow

As you all know I only recently purchased a fab 16’’ custom Dob and it was great but heart ruled my head and I needed to sell it to fund a new mount for my other recent purchase I realised I needed a scope like a Dob to give those wow views you get with theese large scopes but I really needed something more portable and space saving so I put up my CPC11 deciding to fund a more portable Dob to give me the aperture but portability and reduce my equipment so two scopes went out one came in and here it is a fantastic Sumarian Alkaid 14’’ travel scope with Zambuto Mirror and feather touch focuser and I must say it’s so light I can carry it compleete to my viewing area in the garden no problem so here’s hoping clear skies this week end .

Be Careful Alan you don’t want to go and get Assimilated into the collective We are Borg ?

Hi Dave thanks it’s around 1991 it is the very one featured in Astronomy now write up and the one in BCF Catolouge I owned one quite few years ago but due to financial reasons had to sell it it went to good home Damien peach thought I’d never see another again so guess it’s Kama and will definitely post first light .

It Was a sad Day when I said good by to My Takahashi 100DF but for a very good reason this beauty came available thanks to Kerry Lewis and I’m smiling again

Yes stu but the Tak would’ve stayed had it not been for Kerry

All ready completed Chris and Sadly the Tak is now gone to a new home to fund something close to my heart

Really nice Stu kinda wish I’d gone for a more compact I looked at that congratulations
