[Utah-astronomy] SCTs

Re. our discussion of the relative merits of different telescope configurations, the group may find this note enlightening. It was posted in the LX200GPS discussion group, of which I'm a member: -- Joe Hi all, I was looking at NASA's New Horizons spacecraft which is currently on the way to Pluto and found that it's major imager is a 10 inch SCT telescope with a F10 focal length and a 1024x1024 CCD camera. I doubt that it's Meade (couldn't find out) but for those of us with the 10inch LX200 I'm sure you can relate. Just thought it was interesting... Larry
