To the best of my knowledge they are not sold anywhere in the U.S.

It is available from most Canadian dealers.

I purchased mine from Harout at Vancouver Telescope Centere In Vancouver B.C.

Great to deal with.

Did I mention that I like white OTA's on White Mounts?

Too bad those rings and the focuser are black

11.3" Byers RA drive. On board is a C-11 and a Taki FS102. AP pedestal. The mount tracks and autoguides very well.
