They have been discussed on Cloudy Nights forum, badged as Astrotech I think over there. I asked Luke at Andrews about them last week and he emailed Jim Sheng at GSO about availability for Aus - looks like he got a response. Luke said he intended to bring them in if he could. I think the price quoted in the US was $1700 USD. They look great but honestly you can buy a present GSO 10" f4 imaging newt for less than half that. Sure the truss looks great and look like serious units but it still has a GSO mirror, focuser, etc. Your paying for the truss and alittle weight savings - much like the situation with the RCs (truss vs tube). Jury is out on those for me.
