Some may remember I posted a photo of this 6"f/15 (Jaeger's Objective)homemade folded OTA about 6 months ago. It was on a homemade mount that was not at all portable. The winter has allowed me to adapt the scope to a CI-700 mount and Losmandy tripod very nicely. After shortening the legs slightly to accommodate the needed height,it's worked out great. Damping was better then expected and the mount was rock solid. A folded system upon my first impression was not appealing, but as I've worked with this scope, and I've come to appreciate it for portability and outstanding comfort during observing.
The planets in this scope are breathtaking. Double stars are a delight, and viewing the moon will make you weep it's so amazing. Alan - Wixom, MI.
