if I remember correctly, there were two versions of the 127 for sale on their website, but now one of them is gone. Take a look at this link, am I correct in what I’m seeing?

I see a 100mm & a 127mm. I believe there were two of the 127, one of them was specifically for imaging.

Too my understanding, the original TeleVue NP127 was discontinued in 2006. It was replaced by the NP127is (Imaging System) model, which was designed with a focus on astrophotography and CCD imaging while still maintaining visual capabilities. The NP127is includes features like a larger reducer doublet and a nosepiece for 2-inch focusers to enhance imaging abilities.

OP is correct.  Tele Vue NP127fli Imaging Astrograph was perhaps a niche

product.  Here is a link about the apparently discontinued scope:

Thanks to Astronomics for keeping us informed, in many ways.

Yes... that was the dreamy entirely high-end deluxe package just about the closest thing to plug and play as it comes.     Tom
