Re: Anything about the Astro Tech 111 mm ?

The TMB92SS is not over priced and is actually a very good deal considering what you will get when they arrive.
That's the only problem, WHEN!
Been following these two lines since July last year.. Still I do not know ONE customer who has bought one off the shelf.. I have read back in various forums, the first "30-60 days" announcements where done in 2006...
But probably you are right, IF it does perform as well as they WRITE, then it shouldn't be overpriced.

The 111 looks to be a phenomenal deal. I'm surprised that noone has commented on how flat the field is with the 111. There is VERY little curvature present. This is not easy to do with a triplet design.
What do you mean, not easy? Isn't it easier than with a doublet?? I was under the impression that triplets correct the field better than doublets..

It's funny, the TMB130SS went through the same ringer when it was first released and look now. IF you can find one for sale they command the same price as when bought new and have gotten nothing but rave reviews comparing them to any 130-140mm scope available.
CS's
Same, I do not know many people who actually bought any of these 130s, and the dealers never have stock...
Just check the status of the SS line or the AT line on Astronomics web, and then you'll see what I mean..
So the rave reviews would be more founded if there actually were enough scopes under the skies! Anyone knows how many were sold so far? Got any pics taken with the 130 you can link me to?
