SAO 10" inch Newtonian OTA Equipment
10 inch Newtonian OTA Equipment

The OTA is comprised of the most critical set of components of any telescope's overall platform. Therefore, the SAO has decided to utilize reliable parts to support its 10" primary and 2.14" secondary. The primary's mount was purchased from University Optics, Inc., and the secondary holder from Kenneth Novak. Our home page will have links to many of the companies we have made purchases from via a drop-down list. Unfortunately, Kenneth Novak has past on and is no longer in business, but there is a company that has bought out the remaining stock of Novak's inventory. The website for this company can be found here. The majority of my oculars are standard fair, except for the 20mm TeleVue (fourth from left,) which is superior in many aspects. My collection has grown tremendously since then, and continues to grow.
