Hey!! They've got a new kind of GEM - called "EQUATOTRIAL SYNSCAN MOUNTS" (see their page 38 under Section "MOUNTS") - now I know why they canned the EQ7 because it's just an ol' EQUATORIAL mount!!
Jokes aside, I'll call them on Thursday morning and find out if indeed the EQ7 is canned and why - that is if I can get someone to give an answer and if so will post it here
HTH
Cheers
Bill
