ooh, how much? Over 1K?

[Robh]

How big is it! At 1 kg this is nearly twice the weight of the Ethos 13mm.
On my 12 inch DOB, the Ethos 21mm would give a magnification of about 70 and true FOV around 1.4 degrees.
Amazing! Surely, they've reached the limit for a 2 inch EP.
I wonder what its entry price will be?

Regard, Rob.

As near as I can estimate it will be priced at: One arm plus 4 toes or a first born male child!

amazing times we live in :) while I'd love to own one of these as I'm finding my 22 t4 an almost perfect f/l in my 12 ".. thankfully for the wallet weight will stop me .

The weight jump from a 27 panoptic to the 22t4 I found to be huge
in my scope (450-680 gms) .

Like to look through one though:D

At 1kg, it's the same weight as the 31 Nagler.
Both are lightweight compared to the 1.36kg weight of the Meade 30mm UWA or the 1.42kg weight of the Celestron 31mm Axiom LX.
I may not recall correctly, but I think there's a Rodenstock (sp?) 40mm that's even heavier.
At 1kg, you have to be very careful about balancing and have a stiff focuser.
