Someone lock this thread quick. I have been struggling for weeks now, trying to resist Bintel's special deal on the NP 101is, and here are all you people torturing me with fantastic images and extolling the virtues of what may well be the perfect wide-field refractor.
Seriously, will someone PLEASE say something negative about this scope? Tell me it takes ages to cool down. (Actually, how long, really?) Visually, is the contrast noticably worse, what with it having four elements and all? Has anyone ever had a dud 101? Come on, the smallest defect is more telling and more useful than all this unmitigated praise. Besides, I can't hold out much longer...
And how much is an FSQ, anyway?
Cheers,
Brian.
