Something Larger then the 1200?
John Gleason
I guess I should send this directly to AstroPhysics, but I wonder if they
are considering something larger then the current 1200 goto mount. When considering the availability of large Ritchie and classical cassegrain instruments, it would be nice to see something larger that could be installed in a permanent observatory. Maybe 200 lb. load capacity. There appears to be a gap of US made commercially made "BIG" mounts. If however you look at the Japanese telescope catalogues, you will see a plethora of large systems for permanent installation. John Gleason, dvj@... http://www.celestialimage.com
