Hi, Bobby.

I can reveal that I'm not a beta tester and I haven't signed an NDA or used an RCX. If I were a beta tester, I don't know how I could publish images without revealing that fact and thus violating the NDA.

Meade probably has some images submitted to them by the testers, but unless they are CERTAIN that the beta test units will precisely represent the production units they'd be crazy to release those images and open themselves up to the kind of rabid accusations any deviations would surely draw.

You mean they wouldn't pull another DSI on us. I still haven't seen anyone pull off images like they show the first night out. I would think that with ship dates of late Feb as they have stated, they should be well past final beta testing and into actual production. To me it's typical Meade advertising and operating procedure. Announce a product, get the juices flowing, ask for pre orders with no additonal info besides the website and nothing specific about the scope other than the specs they released on the website. To me it's just weird marketing strategy.

Are you SURE your not a Beta tester
