Hi!

I have a 12" GSO dobsonian which is made in Taiwan. It looks pretty much
like the revelation dobsonian. Does anyone know if the mirrors
come from the same manufacturer? what is the difference between these
telescopes? The revelation 12" seems to be made in China. I bought
my telescope from: http://www.telescope-service.de/ . I haven't had any
problems with it and I think the quality of the optics is very good.
Mirror test: http://www.eclipseoptics.com/mirrors.html . To make it easier
to move the telescope I built a round plate of 20mm plywood with wheels and
put it
under the rocker box.
