This is still a departure for Orion, however. Maybe it's just a special offered by the manufacturer.

I waited until they did before ordering my EON120. It's one way to get around the manufacturer's MAP (minimum advertised price). You stick to the manufacturer's MAP but offer free shipping and/or free accessories to lower the effective price. -------------------- 17.5" f/5 Dob. IM-715 MCT. 120ED. Lunt 60mm Ha.
