Unkind but probably true about the poor old TV-102
However, I suspect we won't ever be seeing, or at least for any prolonged period of time (before the injunctions kick in), any Skywatcher Synta type clones of the NP-101
We may certainly see some time in the future some sort of f5 or f6 triplet with an internal flattener tacked on the back but good old Uncle Al now owns the exclusive world patent on the 'Nagler/Petzval' design of a double objective configuration and I suspect the lawyers who represent Televue will be grinning very broadly when any such clone/derivation starts rolling out from any other telescope factory.
