Patric, maybe they were thinking of the 20x140 model.

Joe,
I guess they did, now I see there is information of a 20x140 version UNDER the technical specs, but it's quite misleading because the specs seems to deduce to the 30x180 model.

Hi Markus,
I suggest that he use something with higher light transmission than the standard Astromeccanica back end so as not to waste all that Apo aperture.

Ya know, ya just can't win. No matter how hard you research a purchase, either something even more enticing than what you bought will show up, or the company that manufactured your equipment will come out with a substantial upgrade.
If it makes you feel any better, I've read that that 30X180 has a yellow-tinged view to it (internet hearsay, of course). I also can't imagine what sort of mount it would require, and even then, who could lift it? Finally, thank goodness it costs so much! Sometimes you run into something after you made your own purchase, and it is better, but it also costs ten times more. That always helps.
