The OA-7.0

This is the scope that some customers all but demanded I offer, and thankfully, I listened.

Saturn`s Cassini division is obvious even under poor seeing conditions with bright globular clusters

split wide open revealing hundreds of stellar pinpoints in the core, due in no small part to the

superb resolution and contrast offered by this and all the OA-Series telescopes
