Starviewer 60mm Triplet APO Refractor

I wonder if anyone will import this little APO made by Intane? Looks like a great super-portable travel scope. Imagine this as a finderscope / guidescope, although admittedly you wouldn't really need something this good as a guidescope.

I see that TS don't have one under their branding either.

Wonder if they could get you one as they have a good few of the Intane offerings ? Email Intane??

I am wondering why none of the UK retailers have not followed TS and offered the Intane scopes.

We have no retailer offering the selection that something like TS do - not just their own branded scopes but the other manufacturers as well.

Celestron and Skywatcher are the same and really other then that there seems little variation. I was looking at StellarVue scopes the other day, think the retailer had 2. Then StellarVue will not ship to the IK because they have a distributer here.

I would say that unless UK scope retailers get larger then even the selling of scope will be a hobby, not a business.

Shame there aint anymore info regarding the focuser build & what glass is uses...

I wonder how much it will go for ?

I see they also have a 152mm f/8 APO listed but no details or photos. Now that could be REALLY interesting if the price was right.

We live in interesting times John, with Tec140's, AA115's, Skywatcher Esprits & other hybrid Triplet scopes.
