Hey (1 Viewer)

I was looking at Telescopes, again! First I saw this cool one from BORG

Looks like an intersting piece of equipment.
I found another helical focusser designed to turn an astro telescope into more of a telephoto lens, this one from William Optics:

It doesn't have a mounting bracket, which for heavier scopes (than the Borg 77) is probably a good idea as the center of gravity would be more towards the objective.

yeah looks cool...but found out alot of it is very pricy - would love a 77ed with a 101ED head aswell - would be nice not needing 2telescopes... the build in TC going from 1-1,4 is also nice - would be even better if it was a 0.80-1,4x. Also very cool that they want to offer all telescopes in a mattish black colour.

I am not so sure if a helical focuser is better but it sure looks cooler
