A liitle something for Christmas?

[Tiny]

Here is something we might all like in our Christmas stocking...

Revolutionary new Telescope now available

My Dear Fellow Astronomers Worldwide,

As a chemical research scientist, it gives me a great deal of

pleasure to announce that after years of research, my chemical

engineering team has successfully invented a new polymer material

that will revolutionize telescope manufacturing for amateur and

professional astronomers.

A special chemical polymer has been developed by myself and my

staff here at the University of Northeastern A........ and by making

use of its properties we have created an amazingly new light-weight

and inexpensive telescope.

The first model available in the series is built using a Schmidt-Cassegrain;

Dall Kirkham; Richey Chrétien combination or SCDKRC design and has

been affectionately nicknamed Scudcrock.

Our newly developed polymer, called "astropolymer" allowed us to

create incredible 1/64 wave optics which are so light and tough that

even our mark1 Scudcrock scope - designed for the amateur market

will outperform scopes used in many professional observatories.

While it's first uses will be amateurs, so light and versatile is our product

that in future it will be ideal for use in large telescopes in Earth-based

observatories imaging by using adaptive optics. Tests have revealed

images ten times sharper than the Hubble Space Telescope.

Many patents are pending on the chemical composition, adaptive

optics and manufacturing process of this new "astropolymer."

After years of secret field testing, our attorneys have released us

to market the mark1 Scudcrock to the public.

Our mark1 Scudcrock design built with astropolymer is called the

Cosmospherics 48. It is a 48-inch, f/5 design that weighs a mere 65

pounds.

Since the entire telescope is made of this light-weight astropolymer,

the OTA can be mounted on any light-weight astronomical tripod/mount

with the judicious use of dovetail mounting hardware.

The amazing part of our design is that it costs a fraction of

traditional telescopes manufactured today. The Cosmopherics 48

retails for only $1,200 US plus shipping.

(Included in this price is a Cosmopherics advanced GoTo mount and

tripod made of the same astropolymer material, a 10 x 80 mm

right-angle erect image view finder mounted on rings, a new 2-inch

astropolymer 100% reflectivity diagonal and a 2-inch 40 mm Koenig

eyepiece.)

We now have several Cosmospherics 48 telescopes available on

a first-come, first serve basis. Order yours today.

Note: Setting up the Cosmospheric 48 is a two-person process

because of the size. For details of this process and for more

Give us a pint of whatever he has been drinking

btw Mods lovely Christmas scene we have now I hope I will see Santa through my C11 this year!!
