Mark, The importer here in Sydney has said that the 16" should be available by the end of the year.
Since G.S.O. make the Meade LB's I'm sure that the 16" will look just like a bigger version of the 12". Cheers, John.

Wouldn't hold my breath. It was the same story same time last year: to be out by end of the year (2005), like Latham's troops - out by Christmas.

I reckon the long heralded and yet to appear version of Duke Nukem will be released before we see a 16" gso dob
