I can't wait for mine to arrive.
Hope it doesn't get stuck in customs here

Hi
They have different names over the pond i.e. BKP 130 DS. This is the site in Canada:
http://ca.skywatcher.com/_english/01_products/02_detail.php?sid=336
It's probably better to use a coma corrector - depends how ambitious/fussy you are with your images!
There appears to be a Brazilian deler: http://armazemdotelescopio.com.br/loja/index.php/telescopios but doesn't specifically list a 130pds. Maybe they can order one in for you?

Thank you, Louise
Didn't know they had different names. Gonna make a search fo it.
that brazilian site you gave me is the store i bought my current telescope and it's a very good store, i contacted them but they don't sell it and are not importing at the moment.
For the moment i think i'll pass on the coma corrector right now as i'm still learning, maybe later when i get more demanding

I'm planning to buy a 130p-ds to be my main imaging rig, does it need a coma corrector?
Also, i can't find anywhere a store in the US or here in brazil that sells it. Guess I'll have to import it from the UK anyway.

sorry, this is very offtopic as this is the 130pds imaging topic, please delete my post. i'll make a new one later
thank you

Surely it is less destructive to either use a barlow or fit longer bolts to support the primary mirror higher.
Looks like the 114p is fixed mirror or something, can it still be moved up?

Can you tell how you did? i'm considering to have some machine shop to cut a few mm of mine focuser, but i'm yet to decide if it's worth it,
my heart aches with the idea of destroying my little newt

please post when you catch it, it won't be visible here.
the 130p-ds will be a great fun and i'll keep using the 114p for visual with my little niece, an astronomer in the making
