Perfect for imaging or visual star parties. 17.5" f4.5 Newtonian telescope with highly accurate microprocessor-controlled, stepper-based alt-az drive system with focal plane rotator. Designed and built by Andy Saulietis and the owner. Accepts ST4-compatible inputs for autoguiding. Mechanical and calibration work done by the owner to optimize system accuracy for autoguided CCD imaging. Original 1981 Coulter mirror refigured to smooth 1/8th-wave surface by Sky Optrical in late 80's. Primary and secondary recoated with enhanced coatings group by PAP in early 90's. Optics in excellent condition. 80mm f5 finder. Breaks down to numerous major pieces for transport. With modest effort, can be a traveling scope, but better as a semi-permanent observatory.
