On the AP website, I note that this week they have changed their statement regarding new telescope models from 2005 to "In the future"; and that the image of a 160 f/7.5 Starfire now alternates with a longer, slower looking telescope (or is this the same telescope with dew shield extended?) Do these small changes portend anything momentous, such as the introduction of a new 130 mm model?

Web Site looks the same to me. That picture of the scope on the front page is the 160 with the dew sheild extended. As far as I've heard on the yahoo groups the next new thing that should be revealed would be the replacement mount for the 400 / 600 goto which should Debut in Jan or Feb of next year. I have not seen or heard of any other scopes on the yahoo lists. Rolando is not talking 8)
