short catadioptric once advertised in S&T

Does anyone remember a couple of years ago S&T reviewed a very short tube CAT system, I think it was made in Europe, Austria/Germany, can't recall. It wasn't cheap, but the design is what I recall. I think it was colored orange/red. Really short tube, about 10" or around that.

What was the brand name, etc???

I recall being mesmerized by the thing - electric-colored exterior with a rounded glossy brilliant finish and looking like giant ceramic crock pot?! - also think one was offered on Amart Classifieds by someone in Europe about a year ago? It appeared the obstruction was HUGE though so I lost interest. If telescopes were PCs --- this would be a pastel Apple. It apparently never caught on though --- not sure why. Tom

Are you thinking of the Officina Stellare Veloce RH astrographs?

We make one here in the US, 12" aperture. Been making them for many years, 2 years before the Italians copied us.
