Markus Ludes of APM-Germany has just informed us today that the APM 102mm f/6 Wide Field Refractor will be retired once the last unit in the store gets sold. It will be replaced by a 'superior' 100mm f/7 sometime in July this year.
We are hoping that the new scope will be one that introduces some new & serious competition to the new playing field set by Orion and Celestron with their 'brow raising 80mm Chinese 'APOs'.

More information about the new scope will be 'leaked' here as and when we get them
