Hi,
May be you want to try the Chinese Military & Professional Optics Corp. Last time I visit their website, 50% of it is not ready... Now their website is almost ready, but still very slow: http://www.hioptic.com

Anyway, I think they are the manufacturer for the new Anatres refractor telescope. Also, they seem to manufacture a lots of optical instruments.... from refractor, reflector, dobs (coming soon??), SCT (coming soon???), MCT, RC, eyepieces, mount, all type of professional instruments and etc... seem like basically nearly everything.

Have a nice day.

Ha Ha Ha... They manage to put everything inside the box...

I thought you'll be interested in their 8.8" APO scope... hee hee =P

Hmm... Their ED eyepiece looks interesting... The exterior look similar to Orion Epic™ ED-2 Eyepieces, but it use 4-element ED instead of Orion 6 elements (2 elements ED)... seem like a plossl with ED elements.

Also, look at this interesting Observatory 8.5" refractor: http://www.hioptic.com/telescopes/refra ... 00x216.htm
Wondering what they mean by: "bi-separated eliminating chromatic aberration refracting system"??? Hmm... look at the eyepiece holder, it is on the mount...

Have a nice day.
