Does anyone know when the new 6mm BO/TMB is expected to be available?
Who is carrying the BO/TMB line and where are you folks getting the best service/deals?
Has the scatter issue been addressed, and are the newest models been improved?
I did a Google on BO/TMB Dealers, and was surprised by the lack of dealers listed!
Thanks!

George, what FL is your BO/TMB? The scatter issue in the older 5mm and to some degree the 7mm BO/TMB has been well documented and discussed on this forum.
Perhaps in the newer, or longer FL BO/TMBs, this "scatter effect" has been eliminated by better internal baffling/ coating Etc? The older 5mms even had a Mfg's fix which I believe involved the paint coating an internal baffle.
I seem to recall some posts on this issue where a few brave souls took their BO/TMBs apart to repaint the interiors with a non reflecting coating!
Yes, IMO, the BO/TMB is otherwise a supurb high definition planetary and Lunar eyepiece, and arguably, seems to edge out the Naglers( see my recent post on the BO/TMB with Paracorr inline) for planetary details! I would like to test some Pentax XWs against them when I get around to buying a few! 
Cheers!
Bob
