Telescope Reviews: So who is Nocom/Tanzutsu and what have I bought?

Hi Glenn, I knew about this telescope when Xavier "Crowley" ask for new eyepieces. He bought some Plössl. Soon he realizes that his Tanzutsu has 0.96" EP and began to consider to change the focuser.

http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/showthread.php?t=56400 Hi all, I took a little break from the 17.5" remake to try out a few techniques with making a dobbie mount for an 8" rich field scope. Peter also has a coma corrector which will be necessary with such a fast scope. Peter (aka Hickny) and I purchased a new 8" f/4 OTA from Bintel this week that was lacking a mirror cell (cheap scope consequently). This is to be a grab-n-go scope which we shall share. You will see in the pics how small and 'cute' it looks,

Nice job cj.. I never thought about making or submitting an article about them.Well done. fwiw. Been making & selling these for yrs. I include the resistor inside the flanged holder just in case they get put in some other torch. Easy as pie.
