SDM024 for Steve Fildes of South Australia uses a 15” specially crafted mirror by Mark Suchting.
It’s more of a hybrid than a strict ultra compact as it retains the 8 poles and fully baffled secondary cage of the classic while employing the lighter and more compact virtual Mirror Box and low slung Rocker Box. This scope is fully loaded with ArgoNavis and ServoCAT but can be lifted into the rear of your car….no need for ramps.
Set up ready to observe in 2 minutes… no need to line up or support any components. Collimates in seconds and stays bang on all night!
The bottom line:
Views – Great, Stability – Great, Portability – Great!
The ‘compact’ design has become increasingly popular over the years, and by popular demand, SDM is offering a very special version of its own. The SDM Compact is the ultimate grab’n’go scope for those who are keen to get their light buckets into the field with the minimum of fuss. Even after its major weight-loss programme, the Compact still retains the solidity and performance so characteristic of
an SDM telescope but now in a form that can be easily fitted into a family saloon. Even better, the SDM Compact can still be fitted with ArgoNavis and ServoCat to make it an exquisite grab’n’go-to!
