Or is it a Hiltsonian!! After Dan Hilts superbly designed 5 inch f4.8 scope.
This is a wooden scope made for a niece and nephew as a Christmas present. It has a surplus shed 100/600 lens and a 50 mm elliptical secondary.
It is supposed to be like an Astroscan on legs, hence the red. It is a bit more user friendly than my earlier prototype( a 127/830)
The lens is OK but not spectacular, however in the 20-100 power range it is fine. CA seems more obvious than in my version with an 127/830 lens.
