For those who may not already be aware Takahashi has released a new refractor - or perhaps this could be viewed as a return to their glorious past.
The FC-100DC is a 100mm doublet genuine fluorite refractor.

It is now available for order and best of all AEC has them available for an introductory price while the AUD holds at $2250!
Thoughts, opinions??
