Hi All......

When I checked with APM-Telescopes, the price is USD3,999, inclusive of shipment to Singapore.....
But APM will convert the amount to Euro.....

Anyone who are interested to know more about this new OTA, can read the recent sample test result in CN, under Vendor and Group Announcements section....

Wow! Nice scope. I got a feeling the general public here is going to get a lucky chance to look through it latest by next year.

Hi Bro....

This one not that big compared to my Istar.....

I wanted to try this out, coz the tested sample claims that it can match the FS152, and performs better than the TS 152 triplet..., and it performs like an 6" F30 achro....

And the price is seem to be quite reasonable , everything in, plus the case, and shipment from Germany to Singapore....

Not sure whether they will increase the price after this 1st batch production sample.....
For those who are interested to get one after I do the 1st light in February....

Hi All....

I have wrote an email to Lucas, and his reply to me is that the price for this 6" APO ED APO, will remain at USD3990, inclusive of delivery to Singapore , even next year.....

So anyone who is keen, don't need to worry on the price increase.....when next year, after I received one of the 1st batch of production units.....

Just for the rest who wants to know about APM, they are the manufacturer for the Lunt solar wedge, supplying to Lunt.....
And I have just purchased directly from APM, Germany, one set for testing purpose....
The interesting part is not the price of the solar wedge, but is the air delivery is only Euro20??????
