'Currently in stock at iStar' thread

I'm liking this thread alot.
This way I can keep an eye out for THAT one scope
I can't live without.

I think that's the idea! When it's ready , you know it, and you just get it. Or you can order a scope like I did, before they even design it, and wait til it hurts.

Hi Ales.....

As you have mentioned that you are going to produce one pc of the 175 F6 CaF2 fluorite super APO.....
Do you have an indicative pricing , on how much this unit will cost.....
Perhaps it may generate potential buyers to place advance order with ISTAR, if the prcie is right.....

It is very hard for me to speculate on price but it will be a very expensive scope. Just look at prices of common FPL53 glass APO triplet OTAs in 180mm range.. you will see figures around and over 20 000 US dollars. I think our scope will be substantially below this price point, but again, wait for few weeks until we have all numbers together so we can come up with an exact figure.
But remember that we are offering the 152 F/7,8 CaF2 Fluorite triplet APO at lowest price on the market. Optically outperforming most big names or at least meeting quality of those other guys, those costing twice or more our asking price,
best regards,
Ales

Hi Ales....

If yours is less than half the price of the other big names, then I think there is a possibility that some will be of great interest to acquire one from ISTAR.....

Otherwise people like me may just able to go for the 210-9-R30.......with your Raycorr......

Some nice scopes there Mike.
As usual, the 127 r-30's are calling my name.
Someone got $2k I can borrow??

[borispider]

Oh yeah, plus an extra $700 for a bigger mount. ;D
