In case someone missed the latest news: http://www.astro-physics.com/products/telescopes/92f665/92f665.htm
The optimization was chosen for the polychromatic Strehl ratio to be above 90% for the entire visual spectrum with a peak value of 99.8% at the visual peak. The result is unprecedented color correction. Visually the scope shows sharp contrasty images without color fringing with well corrected high power oculars.

Wrong link Suavi. This is correct: http://www.astro-physics.com/products/telescopes/92f665/92f665.htm
Oh, how I would love one, but I dare not look at the price lol

Fixed the link - thank you Lewis.
I would really love one too, but already have a very nice 105mm refractor, and home budget is a bit tight at the moment, so will have to pass.
Hopefully someone in Oz will manage to get one :thumbsup:

Sounds like a bigger brother of the Tak FOA60

Don’t have a clue...as it is still to be determined. But it’s an AP. Like all their other instruments it will be sublime. :thumbsup:

Given that FSQ85 costs about US$3500 and CFF 92mm about US$3000 (not including taxes and shipment), I feel that the new gem from AP will cost around AU$6500 landed.

I am considering "re-acquiring" my AP Star 12ED and cutting down.
I know where it is, I know the gate combo, and I have bolt cutters and a battery powered grinder. Matt, watch my back!

I ordered one as well.
As Peter said, its an AP scope and it will be sublime. Exactly.
I kind of miss my TEC110 F6. That was a nice scope. It really only needed a better focuser, the optics were great.
