Going to pose an inquiry in the "refrator" forum section just in case someone there has heard something. This is a type of achromat that is being made by "Aries Instruments". Less false color on bright objects, APO resolution... thanks, John M
Any info on the Chromacorr refractor?

They stopped making them to develop new versions that would be easier for the end user to install and set up properly.
IIRC, the new ones were supposed to be available last summer, but perhaps the challenge was greater than they expected.

There was a little news on the yahoo groups
back in September. See
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/aries-instruments
There was talk of achromatic scopes with Chromacor
built-in as it were. But I think Valery is finding
professional and industrial optics more profitable
than our little amateur scopes.
