Unitron Schmidt Cassegrain? I have just purchased a Unitron 8" Schmidt Cassegrain that is said to be approximately 40 years old (I don't know if this qualifies as an "anitique"). I already have a Unitron refractors of 4" and 2.4" size, but haven't previously heard of a Unitron Schmidt-Cassegrain. Can anyone fill me in on some history of this instrument?

Please post some pictures. Would be interesting to
see if it has "Unitron" look to it, or whether it
might be some other manufacturer just re-branded.
