I don't recall us writing a guide to using flocking material. No, it is manufactured in Germany. You have the right material 🙂

Are you sure it was us? I ask because we don't normally make that recommendation. What flocking material are you using? It is true flocking a Newtonian telescope's interior can enhance contrast but we normally 'suggest' it only as a solution to an existing problem. If you are flocking a Newtonian telescope then some material applied to the interior directly opposite the focuser and around the bottom 1/3rd of the tube length, around the primary mirror, is usually enough.

If you are who I think you are, I see when you placed your order our website estimated dispatch mid-late December. I will check progress early December then update you 🙂 Steve

Coincidentally we checked then updated our ETAs for all Esprit telescopes this morning. Esprit-80: In stock but waiting in queue for optical bench so 2-4x working days. Esprit-100: Unfortunately not in stock and unavailable until Feb/Mar. Esprit-120: We had a delivery earlier today but all pre-sold. We have a few more arriving later this month but they too might be sold, depending on numbers. So probably Jan/Feb. Esprit-150: In stock but waiting in queue for optical bench so 2-4x working days. HTH, Steve
