As the text is in German, here some short remarks on the design:

31x31x40 cm and 10 kg weight
- All telescope parts + eyepieces, quick finder, star atlas fits into the
box. Permanently mounted altitude bearings
- The cover=rockerbox with higher feet for more convenient eyepiece hight
- Foldable 10x1 mm trusses of 650 mm total length.
- 1.25" helical crayford focuser, courved spider
