Been casting my eye around for a while now with a view to a prospective new scope.
Having owned a newtonian before and quite enjoyed it, I've been thinking of a return to this optical configuration. I'm not in a rush and have been very happy with my Celestron 9.25" SCT.
I've also been considering a Mak-Cass and mak-Newt...but I have to say I really miss having a newt. There's just something nice and simple about it which appeals to me, and the best views I've ever had (visually) have been through a newtonian.
So, with this in mind, I'm eager to get a look at this soon-to-be-released range of scopes.

Probably won't be cheap...but like anything in life...you get what you pay for.
Anyone seen or heard any details about the Rapier range?
