Ultra-Portable Telescopes

 

I am now in the process of constructing the first example of the Ultra-Portable versions of my telescopes. This design has the aim of making the telescopes as light and easy to transport as reasonably possible and as small as possible when dismantled for transportation/storage.

In due course, this design will be available in all of the standard sizes, although it makes most sense to consider this design for the larger sizes (18-inches or larger).

If you would be interested in the Ultra-Portable design, please let me know (00 44 (0)115 9602266, david_lukehurst@o2.co.uk ) and I can keep you updated. The first  telescope will be completed within the next 2 to 3 months and I will post some pictures and other details then.

This is a picture of the 22-inch top end with a MoonLite CR2 focuser. More pictures later
