Yes, it looks like a beast. Would go nicely with my Atlas/U16M.

Lewis, when are you going to buy this one and sell it at 25%?

Hmmm, now that is interesting. I wonder what they will be charging for that.

Surely you jest. It's el-crappio ED. If it was fluorite, then I may consider selling myself to the Astronomical Demon.

I'm in for one. No price yet. It will go great with my Atlas and Proline 16803 over in Coona. The FSQ 106 is IMO one of the best imaging scopes you can buy. I hope this one lives up to the legacy.

Looks purposeful. Ok, closest to the pin comp time. Claude's selling price! 1 child? 10 grand?

I think it will be a great combo with the KAF-16803, John! The KAF-50100 would be interesting too but the read noise is a bit high (12.5 e- on the Truesense spec sheet.)

Yes, I would have gone for $10K too but since it's already taken I'll pick $9.5K (OTA only...)

$9765

A guess based on TSA vs FSQ106 vs TOA 130 proportional prices.

Do I want one? OF COURSE! But that will mean Gold Lotto win. Otherwise, not for a while

My guess - FSQ 106 is about 1.6 x price of nearest aperture "normal" Tak (TSA102super). Based on TOA 130 NFB price of $8490 that gives a price of about $14000 (to the nearest thousand). God almighty - I might have to go back to work!
