Celestron 20" Dobsonian Starhopper

Looking for any information on the celestron 20" reflector dobsonian. Manual, flyers, advertisement, anything. Can't find any info online. This must be very rare, a prototype maybe? It sure looks like it was built them it got there trademark name on it. I just aquired/bought one by luck its very BIG

Charles:

I didn't realize that Celestron produced a 20 inch Starhopper, I was under the impression that the largest they ever made was a 17.5 inch (which would use a ~20 inch tube???)

That should be a massive scope but provide wonderful views.

I am assuming it is an older telescope with with a Sonotube OTA. The larger Celestron Starhoppers were actually manufactured by Discovery Telescopes so that is the place I would begin. I would just Email Terry Ostahowski and ask him what he can tell you. Terry was the optical half of Discovery until he split off.
