This is a scope that pushes the definition of luxury to a whole new level. Eric had a clear vision of what he wanted in the ultimate observing instrument and SDM were only too willing to build a scope with so many innovations. All observing is done seated and an integral heated eyepiece box is within easy reach. This 12″ beauty is designed to fit into the back seat of his car.

So what does Eric think? “I love my new scope, not just for the quality of the observing experience, but the convenience. Setup time is far shorter than its previous commercial incarnation and I love having a powered ground board – no more tangled cable! And if it wasn’t such a superb telescope, my wife admits that it would make a wonderful, if not large, “objet d’art” in the lounge room, with the beautiful colours, textures and shapes!”
