Peter, A run involving a new product (ex. a longer f/l 155) will impact those already waiting for the f/7 version and from this perspective it does make sense...
To anyone who thinks a new list should be started for visual 6", If they had been waiting for nearly 4 years for any big AP scope as I have (over 5 years for...
Hi All, Before anyone jumps to any conclusions, please wait just a bit until we can finalize the specs and get some pictures of the scope up on the web site....
Mark, I feel for your AP pain, but that's if you consider all 6" apo models to be basically the same scope and therefore be under the same list. You can't jump...
Hi Roland, Thanks, this is excellent news. I, for one, have been on the 155 list for 4+ years. I'm looking for a visual-use 6" apo. While the AP155EDFS at...
Peter - AP keeps a list of people interested in a scope. They don't take orders until they plan to produce the scope(s) in question. As someone who has been...
Peter, Point is moot I think as Roland has already spoken on this. This had already been determined before you raised the issue on AP Users Group. Roland...
Mark et al, Your points are sound ones and totally up to Roland on how he plans to work things out. No doubt, he's been through a lot of this telescope orders ...
Larry - one does not view the waiting list. It is a wonderful exercise in faith and patience. But the reward is heaven, and you don't have to die to get...
Dodi Yes I think that is a little steep for an incomplete set. That is probably why they have not sold. I paid about $3000 for a complete set with Barlow a ...
At the recent Grand Canyon Star Party I fielded one of the smallest telescopes there: my wondrous f/7 Stowaway. Mounted for the occasion on my G11, it was one...
Hi, Mr. Christen, I hope the color scheme of the new telescope is the same as that of your present line of telescopes, i.e., black and white. There is ...
... Although don't you miss the old watches with Radon painted numbers? I think it's time to switch from pebble white to Radon white. Same classic look in the...
I should have added that I hope the telescope TUBE is white and the telescope FOCUSER is black. Bill G. P.S. I feel like I am writing to Santa Claus. :o) ......
Roland Great news on a visual 155. I look forward to the pictures and specs. Scott Squires http://www.scottsquires.com/Astronomy.htm ... until we can ... site....
I'm almost positive that I heard a rumor that Roland was going to adopt the paint scheme from the PT Cruiser for the new scopes. ;-) /me runs... --Kit ... Kit...

Cassini presents the Encke Gap.. or is it the minima? Hmmm, looks like a clean shot to me, yes, I think this one is the gap, fellows, I do see a sharp edge to...
Cool - it never occurred to me that Cassini would settle this long- standing argument. "Gap" it is.... CS - Otto ... like a clean shot to me, yes, I think...

... Actually, we're all being somewhat wrong.... It's the Encke _Division_, not the Encke Gap, which means JPL's web page is a bit wrong as well. I guess they...
Hello, I am kind of curious what it means to be a "visual" refractor, maybe someone can explain. Does this have something to do with double/triplet lens, color...
