Bears and moose! *grin* And the designer (or is that the model) looks quite cute *just kidding!*
That's the model.
The designer is some white auntie.
(too bad..)

amazing. and amazingly expensive. The kit is "only" $1270 USD though, inclusive of optics. The optics are from Orion Optics UK.

It does look like everything can fit into a small suitcase!

Truss dobs can DIY. Hence, u can taylor it according to ur personal preference.
Oh yeah, orly, nice work u have done for the truss dob u constructed, just that the poles doesn't fit though and it is not really portable... The crayford focuser is sweet.

The wonderful thing about Dob's is the way you can design it to meet one's portability needs. I came across an image of someone who DIY'ed a DOB using a Barbecue pot (the types with a bowl base and four legs and the lid. Like the image from Orly, it had a single truss arm and everything folded and is kept away in the bowl. You then just carry the whole bowl...Coolz!
