Regarding the W/O FLT132, I would point out there have been some problems with this scope.

There were issues with the cell, causing pinched optics, and tri-lobed stars. Word on the street is one retailer in the UK was pulling his hair out a bit over this one, with a few unhappy customers.

I'm not sure if the problem was positively identified, fixed, or designed-out in later scopes.

In fact tried out the prototype FLT132, with William Yang (William Optics) stood next to me looking for feedback. Looking at some distant halogen lights in the Koln Messe exhibition hall in Germany, I was surprised to see as much purple fringeing of false colour as I did...

Just thought I'd mention it.

Regards,
Rob.
