Carl Zambuto announced that three new makers have been awarded the ZOC membership for purchasing mirrors to put in their production scopes.
These are,
Astrosystems http://www.astrosystems.biz/index.htm
Compact Precision Telescope http://www201.pair.com/resource/astro.html/regular/products/cpt/
Plettstone telescope http://plettstone.com/telescopes/
So there are now seven manufaturers who will be suppying ZOC based scopes. This is a great day for amateur astronomy and all those who want a ZOC mirror in a custom scope.

I just read that, Floyd.
That is big news, indeed.
Those CPT's are pretty cool looking.
I may have to get a 10" to take on trips. wink

Anyone see a price list for the CPTs? I looked over the web page and couldn't find one. I generally take that to be (aside from an annoyance) a way of saying, "if you have to look, you can't afford it."

Well with a CZ mirror I'm pretty sure I can't, but I am curious anyway.
