Hi All,

Have heard that these platforms and popup dob telescopes will not be made any more, reports on eq platform yahoo groups indiacte Sam Johnson is leaving the buisness for a full time job. As such JMI have also discontinued the rebadged Nightrider line of platforms. I wonder what will happen to the patented design of this, if someone else can maybe now make them. Also wonder what Bintell will now do with this product.

This is a pitty as this was a great platform and the only one designed to work in most latitudes.

The problem in my opinion with this is and the Tom O equatorialplatforms is that they are both quiet expensive and more justifiable for a larger Dobsonian scope, than for a smaller budget dobsonian.

I also belive that this

Regards
