What do I think? I'll take the 50...and a dome to put it in. Now, if only I had a couple of hundred K lyin' around I wasn't using...LOL

I saw those! My first thought was that since I live in an Air Force flight path, I'd need to put red lights on the eyepiece end to avoid jet wash! **GRIN!!**
I agree with Uncle Rod, if I only had a couple hundred grand sitting around doing nothing....**sigh**
I do wonder if, especially the 50", will have a similar fate as the Coulter 29.

Way too expensive, better deals are out there. Though not too many available in these large sizes.

Mmm, I'll take one of each.
Better wait until they hit the Astromart classifieds, though. 8)

Says they can be outfitted with Argo-Navis and Servocat...
I figure I would want a big roll off on a concrete pad, and one of these
