Came accross this while perusing the Baader site http://www.baader-planetarium.com/en/apo-250vt-f7.5-fluorit-apochromat.html big, just doesn't do it justice....

Only 10"????

Call that a telescope?????

While the price of the scope looks fairly reasonable ???, how much would you have to pay for the mount to do it justice?

That Planewave astrograph looks nice. If any SGL members have one and find it too bulky for grab and go I have an ST 80 that I'd happily swap (I'll throw in a semi-apo filter for free).

Won't impress the "Dob Mob". I'd like to see him lift it with the optics in.

I was frantically searching for the 'Buy' button, but then I read that it is not available online. I'm sorry, but I'm out! Can't be waiting around for ages for it, next day delivery please  

Looks awesome, and no doubt awesomely expensive!

Bit of a Geoff Capes job, tossing the caber!

He looks a cool dude until your eyes are inextricably drawn to his footwear.

I was thinking of a refractor........

Careful Shane. You are posting on a forum full of stargazers.

We are more concerned with looking upwards than bothering with sartorial elegance in the footwear dept....

Thank heavens!

Think my keyboard has just shorted from the drool. And you're reading a post from a die hard dob fan.

[Moonshane]

I didn't realise you liked sandals so much!

[Galen Gilmore]

Looks like a perfect combo for my EQ5!

No not for me, cant see it working with the AZ star discovery
