An EQ mounted 6 inch Mak-Cassegrain for under £300 new ......

[John]

Apart from the mount looking a little lightweight, I wonder if there are other "issues" with these:

It could be a bargain, on the other hand Maks are difficult to make well and it could be a dog. It doesn't inspire confidence that the seller calls it a "Schmidtt Cassegrain" in the title then a Mak for the rest of the description.

Is it Russian or Chinese ?

Any opinions ?

Looks like the 152mm Astronomica Mak to me John. Could well be a bargain at that price.

The goto is an optional extra, not standard.
