Thanks Tom, It's been such a long wait. I lose my patience over it. Good to hear any type of viewing report, even daytime viewing is fine for testing any color...
Mark, The price for the 102 on the Anacortes website is $398. Is it supposed to be $150 from Anacortes or from Bill directly? $150 seems to be a decent price...

I saw Thomas Back recently posted that Bill was getting ready to ship him the 1026 semi (ED) scopes for testing. Does anyone know if these are the actual...
My opinion is if the darn thing is good it can be called anything you want. If it is not, then it further denigrates the semi-apo's already dubious history....
