meade?

Well it's nearing the end of 1/3/05 the day the earth stood still for Meade's announcment. Boy that sure was a doozy wasn't it. Whatever it is (and I think it's obviously a solar scope from coronado in a blue meade case maybe with solar tracking....), it can't be a good sign for delivery dates when even the announcement of the product doesn't meet it's promised date.

When the announcement itself is late, don't expect the availability date to hold water either.

Yes, this is an amazing gaff on Meade's part, to say nothing at all, rather than at least some preliminary info. If the announcement is intended to get attention/fanfare, and then they have nothing to say, it makes you wonder about their commitment to their customers.

THUD! Past redemption now.

Okay it's an RC (somebody else put out an RC recentlly didn't they? I can't remember who though?) oh yes, and they have now innovated a carbon fiber tube... although I think somebody else was doing that as well, but I could be mistaken, it's all new. ta da!


I'm sure they're great scopes, i just think that marketing is cheesy. don't you?

PS I know C follows M's lead sometimes and sometimes M follows C. It's all very spy vs. spy. anyway, whatever spurs them on.... i guess... innovation is good and competition is probably driving that. too bad the marketing department isn't innovative.

I think their Customer Service Dept. was responsible for posting the product announcement

The LX200 has been meades flaghip scope. I have a 12gps and I'm very happy with it. How do you all reckon this new scope will effect it? Some have used the phrase lx200 killer. Just curious what folk thought.
