A night to remember. Yasuhiko Tsukuda and friends with his 18" at 1300 meters by Mt Fuji. The scope is really iced up but great deep sky views were enjoyed by all.

Hideaki Tezuka in Tsuruga, Japan. "When I heard "It is almost a work of art", I thought this is an American joke. But now I want to say "It is a work of art!" This is not a Japanese Joke!. Just fit into Nissan wagon. Over 600X mirror is good. Thank you for this wonderful telescope. I love mine!".
