Hi all,

Very sad to see Pentax also given up in the astronomy market.

Those discontinued products are:
PENTAX 150SDP
PENTAX 125SDP
PENTAX 105SDP
PENTAX 100SDUF II
PENTAX 75SDHF
and also specific large aperture telescope system

Good bye Pentax.

and just as expensive  cry


certainly not a telecsope for beginners.

Like the Taks you have to know what you  are going to use the telescope for before buying.

whether for observing or imaging

BTW would this be suitable for the solar eclipse 2009

For total solar eclipse, portability is not the only concern. Focal length of telescope also important. My advise is no longer than 600mm focal length of a telescope to be use for total solar eclipse.

Unless, if someone targeted only the chromosphere & prominences during totality. Then focal length longer than 600mm can be use and yet....not longer than 1,500mm and will not manage to get the outer corona.
