That 100ED Petzval sounds interesting... the NP101 for the rest of us.

(seeing as the 100ED f/9 is basically optically equivalent to the TV102)

They also are announcing a 300mm f/4 Newtonian..

Hahaha! Unfortunately it goes against my general principles in buying new at a premium.... unless its reasonably cheap, of course

The Orion 10" f/4.9 OTA is USD499, so there's hope

(Its 27lbs though and I'd rather a slightly lower res pic than shaky stars)
