Another very exotic mirror for sale(15/05/2008)
Terry Ostahowski has a second superb 18" Zerodur mirror available. This  18” f/4.3 Zerodur mirror is available at an Australian price of $9000. Due to the massive cost increase in Zerodur any future mirrors would be $13000.

Enter the Compact(15/04/2008)
The ‘compact’ design has become increasingly popular over the years, and by popular demand, SDM is offering a very special version of its own. The SDM Compact is the ultimate grab’n’go scope for those who are keen to get their light buckets into the field with the minimum of fuss. Even after its major weight-loss programme, the Compact still retains the solidity and performance so characteristic of an SDM telescope but now in a form that can be easily fitted into a family saloon. Even better, the SDM Compact can still be fitted with Argo Navis and ServoCat to make it an exquisite grab’n’go-to!

The Compact design is best suited to very fast optics and mirrors 20” or below. Call Peter to find out more.

Barry's beauty arrives(11/11/2007)
Barry Neumann has taken the term ‘Fully Loaded” to new heights. Barry’s 18” f4.5 scope is exquisitely furnished with every conceivable extra including: ArgoNavis, ServoCat, laptop stand and a Stellarvue finder.

In his own words “The telescope is a stunner Pete. I had a little look at the moon the other night in a gap in the cloudy sky and it was superb. There is no other word for it. The clarity and sharpness was something I would never have believed we could see from this earth. It was beautiful, and I just cruised up and down for about half an hour.”

SDM020 is an instant classic!
