Just so we are clear on how I feel about Astro-Physics products…..
I have an AP92, AP130GTX, AP155 (4” focuser and flattener), AP305RHA.
As to whether madness or some affliction prevailed when I acquired these instruments matters not, as from a sheer $ perspective,
I can sell (well… maybe not on IIS classifieds…markets do actually extend beyond our COVID locked shores) each of these ‘scopes for somewhat more than I paid for them.
But regardless of price, each of these instruments have and still provide me with sheer lack of fuss and delight while using them and in many cases,
have produced award winning images (more due the fact the optics are as good as the laws of physics allow, rather than my AP Journeyman skills).
All I can say if you have an AP ‘scope, enjoy it.
If you don’t, still enjoy it! .....But, perhaps, don’t expect the market rule of supply-and-demand to appreciate its sale value.
Regardless of the 'scope you use have fun with it....as after 80 odd orbits around the Sun most of us will have priorities that rate esoteric optical quality as a fairly low concern.
