While it was produced in very limited numbers, Questar once offered a 12-inch (300 mm)-aperture optical-tube assembly. Some barrels were sold coupled with an equatorial mount based on a Byers drive system. The 12" Questar also found application by NASA for tracking launches optically (see below).

Famous quotes containing the word products:
“It seemed there was a sort of poisoning, an auto-infection of the organisms, so Dr. Krokowski said; it was caused by the disintegration of a substance ... and the products of this disintegration operated like an intoxicant upon the nerve-centres of the spinal cord, with an effect similar to that of certain poisons, such as morphia, or cocaine.”
—Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
“But, most of all, the Great Society is not a safe harbor, a resting place, a final objective, a finished work. It is a challenge constantly renewed, beckoning us toward a destiny where the meaning of our lives matches the marvelous products of our labor.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
“We are the products of editing, rather than of authorship.”
—George Wald (b. 1906)
