254/1200 Foto-Newton OTA with Octo60 focuser in carbon tube

This telescope is the modified, improved version of the original SkyWatcher Photo-Newtonian.

Features:

- Carbon tube is sandwich with different layers, correctly aligned, made in Germany! More rigid than SW carbon, and to use the original tube rings. They has made the middle portion in original size, but both ends are thicker. So not uniform the same thickness.

- Inside there is black velvet instead SW baffles of same size than primary. Baffles are not good in Newtonians, because warm air from the primary mirror had to pass all baffles and so makes a multiple "air lens".

- secondary mirror rim also blackened

- focuser: Now the original SW crayford, bur improved by a second bearing unit, 8 ball bearings total. That means it is getting much more rigid, can lift and hold more weight. Focuser tube shortened, and also velvet inside. That provides the corrector can slip tightly inside, but cannot tilt. It is same like corrector fixed built in, but still rotable camera/corrector unit.
