Ugh, that’s the worst.

Yes it was. Thanks. Read my reply to the other offended person.

Peace.

Rarest ??

Perhaps the original Pronto 70mm F/6.4(iirc). My most precious brochure.

R.I.P. Pronto stolen after half a dozen views.

EDIT
May that person not rot in hell but suffer the fate God decides.

I had what I thought was an issue with my NP101 so when I phoned Televue directly to their head office they put me right over to Al Nagler himself, we talked about my question for maybe a half hour between he and his right hand man, a three way, his final recommendation was to keep on using / enjoying the scope just the way it was. There was no issue, lol !  A great guy, quite soft spoken, he talked like I was one of the boys, my mind was satisfied and the scope never skipped a beat to this day.  PS:  It was like talking to a God, my most remembered phone call, lol !

I think the.numbers are exaggerated.. that's the point.

My post was a little tongue in cheek, a quote from an old saying, lol.

What do Y'all think of the NP101is??  A used one was on my short list (4) of 4" APOs before I bought my FC-100.  That's the closest I've come to buying a TV scope.  But... I lurv the eyepieces!

No modern TV Petzvals for me. My 1990 Genesis is OK, but reports of the NPs collimation issues, dissuaded me from ever buying one.

What was the imagined issue? One of the great things about optics is that nothing is left to the imagination. Now, a focuser glitch - that's different.
