[Ramsay11 (Stephen)]

Sky Watcher introduced this telescope first as a Quintuplet, a triplet with built-in 2 element field flattener. Now Sky Watcher's web page displays the Esprit 100ED at a reduced price as an apochromatic Triplet. I have seen the 100ED Esprit Quintuplet still listed on dealer websites as "Special Order Only". Has anyone field-tested either version? I can't substantiate this, but rumour was the few Quintuplets that shipped out, displayed collimation problems, so it was withdrawn and was to be replaced by the triplet version? I have contacted Sky Watcher about the 100ED Esprit and they are mum on the subject, likewise with Sky Watcher retailers.
