AS we all know the GSO website has jad ;ittle info on their RC telescopes I emailed them and got this reply.
Hi Kenny,
We received your query from Guan Sheng about the new RC telescopes.
We have ordered 6" and 8" OTA (mainly 8") as these will be available first. I expect these to ship around the beginning of July (possibly earlier).
The specifications so far look very impressive. We are running an ad in the next edition of Australian Sky & Telescope outlining the specs.
At this stage price is likely to be just below $3000 for an 8" scope and around $1600 for the 6". We are expecting much greater demand for the 8" as it wil have quartz glass blanks and carbon fibre OTA.
You are sure to hear more as delivery gets closer! We are happy to accept pre-orders for the telescopes now. No need to pay a deposit but you will be assured of a telescope from the first shipment.
Thanks for your enquiry,
Michael Chaytor

I have decided to go for the star instruments version myself. But the taking orders people, we will expect a review
