Wow! I must be dreaming...

Hi,
Saw the "early warning" in GSO website early this year which should be available in April (8" F9), May (6" F9) and June (10" F9), but the GSO website didn't have any information on it yet other than the aperture.

Have a nice day.

Its quartz blanks, carbon fibre tubes with feathertouch focuser for the 8". I want to faint already. When they come out the reducer for the RCs, it will be a complete set! Otherwise f9 is way too slow.

f9 is typical for an RC. All RCOS RCs from 10" to 14.5" are f9.
