I just learned that Stellarvue has announced their newest additions to the apo line-up recently unvailed. At RTMC last weekend, Vic Marris introduced the astro-community to his new 6" apo. The lens is designed by Thomas Back and the focuser is a custom designed feathertouch - 4"!. The lineup also includes some smaller TMB/Stellarvue's at 4.5" and possibly some other sizes in the future.
The new SV6 was recieved very well by those in attendance. While conditions were not good, I understand the views thru this behemoth were just awesome. I can't help but think this newest amalgamation/relationship will produce some world class scopes.
Truly, an exciting time to be hunting for larger apo's!
