Rumour has it that BO is promoting a new short focal length 101 F5.5 scope with some sort of ED glass.
I just wish they would take care of their old promises (102mmF6)first.
I still have my 102F6, waiting for that new "semi-APO" objective.
On the other hand, I have a Celestron First scope 80mm F11 that would benefit from a 2 inch focuser. Maybe now is the time to say "enough is enough" and do a bit of machining to fit the BO focuser to the First Scope. I figure with my 42mm SuperView I would be getting 2.6 degree FOV at 22X. Tentative tests have shown the FOV to be pretty flat and well corrected.
Oh well, I guess its just disappointing to hear of some new scope from BO when somewhere down inside I still had thoughts that they were actually going to come across with the promised goods.
