The attached picture shows them mounted on an Astrophysics tripod and not the one that came with it (Alan didn't have the patience to wait till we unpacked it). The widefield and relatively high magnification (10mm Clave) perfomrance was impressive. Being achromat, they do show color on the moon which of course is particularly bright at this point in its phases. Not for the feint of heart at around 46lbs, you won't find anything to match them anywhere close to the price point. Can you imagine how much sky a pair of 6" refractors brings in 1.25" or 2" eyepieces are able to be used so you are limited only by the width of your nose and the size of your wallet (can anyone say 21mm Ethos x 2?). The 45° is shown and we will also take orders for the 90° version. We have a set all checked and packed and ready to leave for Canada tomorrow.

I will get more information on our website shortly. -------------------- Morris Bagnall Sales Manager www.apmamerica.com A whole room full of APM refractors......
