I'd be curious to figure out about where I am on the list. I (Pre)ordered my LS60T/Ha Double Stack from OPT on Feb 4. How about the rest of you?

I preordered my Single Pass from OPT on May 4th. Someone else also preordered the same scope from OPT and was told they were in the top 5 so I am assuming I am above that?
But who knows.....

Hi Trever, I think you're talking about me. On May 19, I pre-ordered the LS60THa/B600 and I was told I was #8 in the queue. So, you should be somewhere between #1 and #7. In any case, I changed my order to the B1200 filter and I'm somewhere in the top 10. When I called OPT to order, the OPT sales person counted the pre-orders each time. You can probably call them up and get a more accurate idea of where you are in the queue.
And don't forget to order the Tele Vue Sol-Searcher. It fits on top of the clamshell mount and there's a cut out in the case for it.

Ralph, I'd love to stop by your place after you get the 200mm. I'll bring my puny Lunt LS60/B1200 to compare images

Hi Ben,
If you take up Ralph on his offer, let me know as I live down the street from him. Never know, maybe I could make an SCT convert out of you.

Sounds like an east coast solar party at Ralphs house, I'm only within a 100 miles or so.

Hi Ralph and Al, it sounds like a plan! Al, I briefly owned a orange tube C8 over 15 years ago. I sold it when I left the hobby not soon after. I really wish I kept it. It really had superb optics. Scott, join the fun. It's probably worth coming over to look through a 200mm solar scope.

I have a funny feeling that I may not be receiving mine until later on this year. I called OPT and they were not able to find what place in line I was when I reserved my order. They had changed their system so that may have changed my place in line. So far, they have yet to call me and let me know.
