Mmmm...

Andrews' has the WO 132mm triplet fluorite f/7 OTA at $5399... maybe one day. My Orion 102ED at f/7 has been a big surprise, its been 20 years since I looked through a 4" refractor (a Unitron 4" f/15) - not only was it a huge improvement, but I can see why people are addicted to these short refractors. It makes me wonder seriously what THIS would be like: a 203mm f/7 APO... llooks like 70kg for the OTA and a tad under $50,000...
