Stu Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 They have been discontinued as I understand it and are being replaced by Baader Classic Orthos. The BCO's are cheaper and different focal lengths. Not seen any reviews of them yet.Stu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gneiss Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Hi... Just to fill everyone in a little more..The main UK distributors have had these on back order with Baader for some time now, the issue being that Baader themselves don't have any in stock.In turn of course once the UK retail outlets have depleted their own stock they have placed them on back order with the UK distributors. I'm afraid the current status for a delivery date is still "unknown".**********************************************It's a great pity if they have been discontinued as they were "steady" sellers and good eyepieces... They compared very well with my personal collection of orthoscopics when I first tried them out. Partly I think because the modern coatings are better than mine.As far as I'm aware the Classic Orthoscopic series mentioned earlier aren't available at the moment and I've certainly not had a chance to see one or try it out and so can't comment on how they perform.From what I can see the focal lengths are 6mm, 10mm, 18mm and 32mm.

faulksy Posted April 30, 2012 Author Share Posted April 30, 2012 just hope there as good as the originals, strange that the cost is less than the originals though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunkster Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 I had a good (but brief) session last night, unfortunately not with a bgo 12.5 However, the ES82 14mm variety did show some of it's qualities with the Saturnian universe "are those pin pricks moons?"
