Very nice starter scope ...

Hi Mr Wu and Weixing. Thanks for the endorsement! Let's see who will be the lucky person to own this little piece of singastro history.

6" Newt is a very capable and lightweight scope even if its mainly intended to be hand carried to the downstairs void deck/open space.
Couple with a light but stable mount like a Vixen Portamount and you have a winner

[Gary]

@cloud_cover - Thanks for the bump. On a PORTA mount, this telescope can point straight up at zenith without knocking the mount base.
