Wow! December 2005!!! See, they're competing with AstroPhysics already!!!
Noting that they don't charge your card until the item is shipped, I went ahead and placed my order. The shipping charges of $21.95 seem a tad high for a small "spotter" class scope, bringing the grand total to $450.95. My reasoning is that the backorder date will probably keep slipping. This scope is exploding onto the marketplace and I bet it's months to a year before demand slows enough for Orion to establish a stock of them. I don't think Roland Christen is going to worry until they start selling them in a 150mm version. C. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo!
