  1. Hi Peter, I think that the deafening silence may speak volumes.

    My reactions after a quick google are that, whatever the quality of the optics, the 'scope is under-mounted. An 8" Newt on what looks like a copy of an EQ5/CG-5 ?

    As for the optics? Can't say beyond that the spider vanes look awfully thick and heavy - those diffraction spikes will be quite noticeable.

    A quick look at forum members sigs show few, if any (?), have any model of Konus 'scope.

    HTH :D

  2. The TV Plössls, quite apart from their undisputed optical qualities, have a certain... heft to them. A rather pleasing feel, that lets you know they'll last a lifetime.

    So, over the last couple of months I've been building toward a full set of them. Now just waiting for the last (11, 32 & 40mm) to arrive. I made use of that bank holiday discount at Telescope House :)

    Those, and the set of volcano top Orthos I've built up, are the backbone of an EP collection that'll work well in almost any 'scope.
