Anyone out there had an opportunity to have "hands on" a T-Scope 14" truss Dob. either stock or up-graded Nova Mirror?
Sounds like a great set-up for $2K. Listed on the Astro-Mart Home page under, T-Scopes.. thank you , John M

John,

I got to see a 14.1" in person at the Mason Dixon Star Party. I got to talk for a while with Ed and he showed me the 18" he had made for himself. He is a fantastic fellow and sure seems to know his stuff.

The 14.1" was an amazing piece of work. How he gets it so compact is beyond me. Not much bigger than my XT10, overall, and not as heavy. The nifty detachment for the upper cage was fantastic. The workmanship was impeccable. I had to leave because he started telling me about a 16" he could build me with a 72" ep height.

I think Ed is providing a fantastic scope at a great price. He seemed like a great American and when it comes time for me to get a bigger dob, he will get my $$$.

Clear skies,

Tom
