This second Weltblick Model 131 is owned by Holger Kramer.  It is equipped with a Unihex and an electric motor.  When he acquired it from a friend it was in bad shape, requiring cleaning, lens alignment, and work on the mount.  The scope is being used quite frequently for astrophotography.  Some of his photos are included.
