Don't be tit Peter!
Latin and Greek along with a bit of French and German are regularly quoted on IIS.
I'm happy to dispense with either (all those greek letters denoting stars are entirely supurfluous and ativistic).
"Scorpius 1,2,3 etc." would work just as well.
My point was, as a collectible object, its perfectly OK to pay north of 21K for an AP scope.
But as purely an instument for observation or photography, it's ridiculous.
But, you missed my point entirely, not being even a 'psued' evidently.
