Does anyone know when these will be shipping? I have checked the Burgess website and it says "In Stock with limited availability". I contacted one of their...
Carl, I'd be interested in finding out also. It's been my unfortunate experience to have tried to obtain two scopes this year, the 90mm AstroTech triplet and...
I've tried several times to buy one - I can't even get a return phone call or reply to email. I know they are busy... but you'd think they'd like to sell...
Thanks Guys, Looks like a heck of a nice scope, I really hope they get released soon. The focuser is what is being upgraded/adapted correct. Clear skies, Carl ...
Someone posted a link to possible "clones" of the Paragons on Cloudy Nights. I'd post the link, but don't want to encourage anyone to buy them because I think...
... property ... Not sure these are clones. The 40mm barrel looks about identical to the 40mm Paragon, but the 30mm has a different top bevel to the barrel...
... Carl, That is the issue. This is particularly frustrating for Burgess. They have the scopes, but have only been getting in focusers in dribs and drabs....
The problem with Bill's operation is the complete lack of consistancy. He does have consistancy in quality - but if you can't deliver - who cares. Look at...
I'm waiting on one too and I agree that at this price point there is danger that one would think that "it's too good to be true". I have been reassured by...
Julie, Nicely worded note. There's obviously forces at work that we may not be privy to, but you're right on the money about how keeping folks informed can...
I was on the original list for a 1026 and then decided to drop off the list. My reaction to all of this is not to believe anything until it is actually for...
Might be a case of too many irons in the fire coupled with the vagaries and unstable nature of dealing with international suppliers that are logistically...
I think there are a couple of misconceptions here. One, no one pre-bought the 91mm Triplet. All that happened is that people got on a waiting list, which is...
Julie, It may still happen. Thre was an issue with the samples that needed addressing. Looks as if the manufacturer is finally getting around to it. I would...
Tom, It was hearing the experiences of a couple of the owners of the 91 and the overwhelming endorsements of one of the Burgess dealers that has kept me...
Tom, I actually supported Burgess in my comments. I agree that if you do not like this situation, go elsewhere. The 91 did have the equivalent of a presale...
Two different scopes. The eyepiece offer was for the 91mm fluorite doublet. I'm not sure that anyone actually bought eyepieces in anticipation of the offer....
Whoops, It looks like I caused a bit of a storm here which was not my intention. I'm not complaining just wondering when the scopes would be available. Tom,...
Carl, I'm not sure what the wait list availability is. I ordered mine through a dealer who apparently is on the wait list. So I'm on the wait list of a wait...
I seem to remember everyone that took the eyepiece offer was allowed to switch to the triplet. In a message dated 12/6/2007 12:37:51 P.M. Central Standard...
Nicely written, Julie. Been a Burgess customer since the 102 achro. I enjoyed using all of his products. Waiting is not fun for anyone. I just sold off a...
I, too, think Julie has a very intersting and novel approach to this; "cafeteria-style" product building/shopping. I love it and it would actually be in line...
I’ve been in astronomy 2 years this month, and have been watching Burgess most of that time. I got an incredible deal on his close-out of the 127/8’s, but...
... Tom, You are mistaken about the eyepiece offer and the 91mm triplet. Yes, the offer was originally for the 91mm fluorite, but in March (I think) Bill...
The post refering to a substitution of the 91 triplet for the 91 fluorite was made in May as follows: Start Topic Once in a life time offer? Message List ...
