I *don't* want one of these. I just want the opportunity and the good skies with my modest scopes (8" SCT). :-)

It looks like some anti-aircraft weapon!

Besides, I do not have the place to mount it.

Yes, so I thought, this thing is owned by the military and designed to track the space shuttle, airplanes, etc...

Hi,
My first impression when I saw this picture is that it is an airbone object tracking and imaging system. :)

Have a nice day.
