Wah,

Now skywatcher also uses Schott glass. Very high class!

Skywatcher USA is going to launched soon. Looks like maybe Orion telescopes will be eaten up by synta also.

Glass is only one component.. what about the design? Consistency in manufacturing? I will hold my judgment until I see more positive user comments.

Maybe this would explain why there is a shortage of Schott glass in the market - causing the much delayed delivery of my APO... *sigh*
