Hi:
I think "RIP" is a little hasty until we see what Synta does. Heck, it ain't like this ain't happened before. Been a long time since the days of Celestron Pacific, when it was a family company owned by Tom Johnson. First there was the absentee Swiss owner, then there was Tasco. I think Synta will be a better deal than either of these was. It would have been nice to see Celestron continue as an independent company in the hands of Lupica/Hedrick/Hale...but insufficient captitalization did 'em in, I guess. That was, in fact, Celestron's major problem, IMHO, in the days before the Tasco buyout. Much as people disliked Tasco, an improvement in Celestron's product lines, advertising, etc., were immediately after the infusion of Tasco cash.
Peace,
Rod
