It must be a work in progress. Most of the links take you back to an annoying intro page:

Cloudy Nights TOS does not allow reproducing images from other web sites.

It worked for me.
I went to a couple of their scope ads and it looked fine.
What did I miss?

It did take a long time to load however.

If you click around, many of the links take you back to the flash intro screen. To get to the old site, you have to click on the 5th button on the left, then to the "links" page, then to "products" at the upper left.

I missed that.
Probably just being revised.

That's the web page for their Taiwan office. They probably fixed it.

Yeah, I heard something along those lines about that new Ferrari six speed focuser... I just don't think I can get used to the paddles, though...

WO is now aware of the problem and is working on it. Thanks for bringing it to everyone's attention.
