Hi Brian,
it should be a white tube with red trim.
As I understand it The North Group manufacture the Meade 5000 series APO's and (I think) the Explore Scientific line. Mine should be the same as the Meade 102mm F7 triplet but without the branding (home brand haha - search for the name "Gilman" in the IIS forums.
)
At this stage I will pick it up on the last quarter moon weekend and try it out under a dark sky at the same time - weather permitting.
