Astroshop is underadvertising and underexplaining some of the features of this astrograph.
I have just received my astrograph and I'm extremely satisfied. It weighs 14.1 kg with the rings and front cover and without the finder scope (that you don't need if your mount works as it should anyway) and the primary mirror is 254 mm and not 250. The mirrors are multicoated by SiO2 which is very important for long time durability. There are internal baffle rings to increase the contrast and to block the stray light. Astrograph comes with 2"to M42 adapter, with 2" to 1.25" and a 2" extension tubes for visual observing. It comes also with a cover for the front aperture. The finderscope has a fixed focus for zero diopter (perfect) eye but as long as you don't wear glasses it's ok, it's of a very good quality - the tube is made of metal. The view is very clear. The OTA rings are very solid - I like those too. The focuser is fantastic too. The movement is super smooth and it can carry a huge load. There is a tension adjustment bolt and also a locking bolt. The primary mirror has the collimation circle in the centre. The main tube is very solid. The optics gives a super clear image like if there would be no any optics in the optical path at all apart from the eyepiece! The overall opinion is that this is a professional telescope for a small observatory. There's nothing not good enoug that I would have noticed. A perfect parabolic Newton astrograph!
