Thanks Henk! Well, quite few users swear that there is a noticeable improvement even for visual over vanilla
SCT. Kinda like
APO vs
achro refactors. I do enjoy
APO fracs for visual, so it was next logical step for SCTs.
But you are right I am half way to
AP now, just need an
AP mount.

That's the Palen-McCoy Wilderness from a "dark site" on the Bradshaw Trail. It's a fantastic area marred only by the lights of the state prison a few miles to the north.

Looks like a wonderful scope Andrey. Congrats!
But I'm wondering how the mailman squeezed it into your mailbox.

Thanks Michael!
I cought him in time to prevent that.
As you know in my previous attempt the corrector plate of 11"
SCT was broken from rough handling by UPS. This time I was dreading something similar, but delivery went fine.

Thanks Mandrew! Retail was too rich for me, so I gambled on a used one. The gamble paid off, the scope is in a very nice shape.
