A sad day, the Skywatcher MN190 has been discontinued and there is apparently no stock left in Australia. Those holding these fine scopes should hang on to them. Especially treasured will be the ones with the small secondary (52mm), which were produced early on, before Skywatcher decided to put in a 63mm secondary to cater for larger camera sensors. The 52mm secondary was fine for APS-C sized sensors with no vignetting. I owned one of these scopes for four years, but had to sell it after my heart attack. It was my main imaging scope for those four years. The one I had was outstanding, enhanced by a Moonlight focuser and the adjustable base that i designed for Ken. Sorry to see them discontinued. I doubt there are many volume produced Mak-Newts left, and I don't understand why. :hi:
