haha, i wonder if they really go according to the list. from what i heard, certain ap scopes are only available to current ap owners. This is the first I've heard of anything like this. Though I'm sure the first few people to get on the list are very close to them and so are guaranteed a scope in t...

FYI, kendirks is putting everything non kendrick on sale. Including Orion, Lumicon and even televue filters. I'll put more detail in another post.

Also, the SV has been available for some time now, but all the rest are only starting to come on line. You would think that a company based in Taiwan would get the 'same' scope much quicker t...

The Astrotech 102ED and WO and Orion 102 ED should be the same thing. I won't be surprised if the Stellarvue SV102ED is also the same thing, the lens and the tube.
