Ok, the person whose estimate comes closest to the official list price will get to win a 1.25" format compass-cum-level. A handy tool for all goto scope owners. Only 1 guess per member :mrgreen:

List price or Street price? Estimate = 26mm Nagler Type 5 Eyepiece 2 Inch 82deg AFOV list price.

My take, list price @ US$749.

CC, the closest must it be within x$? Otherwise, the lowest and the highest cover a very big range. Like my case for now will be about US$665/- and above.

Now that you mentioned official list price, those who change their mind can edit theirs?

eh the closest guess will win lor :) As far as I know, TV list/street price is the same no matter what online retailer you look up. If any dispute, let's take the online price at Anacortes Telescope as final :mrgreen:

What if there is a draw? Hmm.. maybe everyone can only guess at different values. :)
