Isn't Questar in the process of selling off their remaining stock of parts/accessories before shutting down forever? I know they have been talking to others about selling off the business and are to the point they're facing up to the fact they will need to sell it off in pieces - certain IP going to different companies while others will probably never have buyers (too specialized). Sadly, the amateur astronomy section has received very little interest with so many cheap telescopes coming from China.

In other words, no 5" Questar. If you're not happy with 3.5" and 7" sizes, then try Intes and Intes Micro MCTs.

Ha!

Let's not forget the Questar 5 prototypes. Maybe they will be sold off?

One was on display at NEAF a while back. This was Jim Perkins baby. He was so proud of it :-)
