Off-axis reflector

Astro-optical has a new reflector scope from Orion that features a design that sets the secondary outside the optical path ....in theory this means refractor looking views without obstruction form the secondary and chromatic abberation . Its only slightly below 4 inch aperature but could be a sign of things to come ...imagine Apo {well in theory } views without apo prices...i think its the first design of this type from a big mainstream company.
