Yeah Takahashi is not exactly known for reasonable prices on scopes where they
don't see much competition. Now it may be different for scopes that are made
with machines, but conventional wisdom in the ATM community has been that
the Dall-Kirkham is among the easiest of Cassegrain Telescopes to build though
at the cost of greater off-axis abberations than the Classical or the R-C
designs.
