Fascinating technology Pete, very clever stuff, I wonder what kinds of advance they will lead to! ?

I'm sure there'll be a revolution at some stage that allows scopes with perhaps 20" Dob performance to fold away into your pocket. :)

 

You still might need to carry a mount and tripod, but anti-gravity and image stabilisation might help solve that bit. :lol:

 

Things could be really amazing.

Exciting stuff. I wonder how long (if ever) it will take to filter through to amature scopes.

We should've all had flying cars and robots tending our every need by now, so it might take a while. I'm sure this technology currently costs millions for 2" scope equivalent performance.
