Just a quick update. These last few scopes are made with new, super flat black powder coat. Before we manually painted all inner surfaces with this German made flat black paint. So these last 10 scopes really look amazing, top notch. Secondly, each new scope is now sold with US made 2.5" dual accessory bracket MoonLite focuser and UK made, CNC machined, super lightweight tube rings.
I personally believe that our latest generation (2016) Phoenix WXT 204-6LT is the best scope in its class for low power, super wide field deep space visual observing. As you can see on our website, it can even be used for a very decent deep space photography... Im very proud of this scope since I designed it from scratch and it really outperforms pretty much anything in this (and even larger) aperture class. Somebody on this forum mentioned "not enough" baffles. Well, there are 3, and according to my computer ray tracing, this is exactly what is needed. No stray light can possibly reach the focuser, period. Unless you stand directly below street lamp or observe with full Moon only few degrees away.
Well, Im finally getting of these scopes for myself. regards, Ales
