This Starport standard was given to us by Dennis Martin when, at the Oregon Star Party, he decided he needed to go big, or go home!  Dennis felt he needed a 20″ Starmaster (see above)….  This 18″ NGT, f4.5 Newtonian, with a Pegasus mirror, and Feather Touch fine focuser is a late night staff favorite.  It’s wide, sharp image provides outstanding view of all those faint fuzzies, like nebulae and galaxies, that only come to focus in a large scope.  It’s usually one of the last scopes to be put away for the night.
