We are planning on attending the Okie-Tex star party. Okie-Tex is held from October 2nd through the 9th, 2010 at the tip of the Oklahoma panhandle near Kenton. This is the perfect opportunity to test an Obsession telescope. Better yet, if you purchase an Obsession we can deliver it at the star party and you'll save the shipping and crating costs. In addition, the scope is fully assembled and you'll get hands on instructions in use and optical collimation. Attending a national star party is a great opportunity to use an Obsession telescope, learn about big scopes or to take delivery on your very own.

Introducing two NEW Obsessions:
15" and 18" f/4.2 UC (Ultra Compact)
The ULTRA COMPACT is a revolutionary design. A large aperture telescope that collapses into a very small package. If you have limited hauling or storage capacity, (like the trunk of a small car) then this is the scope for you.
