Yep that looks legit.

[AG Hybrid]

Good grief. Its a straight up site rip.

I just ordered two for a binocular project.

[gbeal]

Two?? Only two?? At that price I ordered a dozen, blatant profiteering on my behalf, but I'm a sucker for a bargain.

It said 2 in stock. Yours are on backorder - sorry! :lol:

[hobbit]

Lol. The add to cart button sends you back to opt's real site.
Fail

[Ric]

If only that was a real price. :lol:

[pluto]

Hahahaha :lol::lol:

[mental4astro]

Hmmm, I wonder if it's not a disgruntled customer or employee out to cause some significant annoyance???? There will be a lot of greedy people wanting to bust in on this one!!!

[julianh72]

Gee! A saving of $37,000!

As Jeremy Clarkson would say:
"What could possibly go wrong?"

[julianh72]

It's a pity the same site isn't doing similar deals on this baby:

http://www.optcorp.com/asa-800mm-ritchey-chretien-alt-az-telescope-nasmyth-focus-image-rotator.html

ASA 800mm Ritchey-Chretien for $336,215

I realize this is an old thread. I just wanted to close the loop here and assure everyone that there was nothing malicious here. This was a page I created for an April Fool's Day prank on a fellow member of our local astronomy club several years ago.

The only link to this page was in a mailing list email, but I believe the mailing list archives were published and so Google probably picked it up there.

I just joined to post this, but have enjoyed reading your forum for a number of years now. IceInSpace is one of the very best forums out there, astronomy related or otherwise!
