sorry to butt in here, im know im new- but id be VERY careful with ANY burgess optical product- their semi-APO refractors were nothing but a horror story-other products were constantly on pre-order with a deposit and ended up vaporware- that 'TMB' design is what it is- just 3 letters- i think the chinese plant is a defunct military optical factory looking for work- they totally messed up the 1026 semi and 'lost' the formula to make the promised objective- i dont know if the burgess optical yahoo group still exists- but you may wanna check it out- along with any forums you did up that has any info like at cloudynights or astromart- i was one of the ones being led to the promised land of semi APO with a deposit paid- only to find out over a year later i could buy the piece of defected junk for $199- with the option of a corrected lens cell to ship 'later'- i elected to get my refund after a wait- others took the option, bought their scope- and the corrected lens cell ended up another vaporware product- those people got the 'im sorry- your screwed'- my personnal opinion is - 'if' you get what you paid for it, thats probably all the quality's in its worth- maybe a little less- the advertising propaganda like a few other manufactureres is grossly overated IMHO
