PST 40 discontinued?

[tico]

Hello,

Is the Coronado PST 40 really discontinued?
I ask it because a store specialized in telescopes told me a week ago ... that is, does Meade no longer produce it?
Thank you
Tico.

As far as I know the PST package with case is discontinued but the scope on it’s own is still available.

Available but Meade doesn't produce it anymore?

Cheers,

Tico

"news of my demise is premature"....

The only comment I have - they said it uses a 30mm internal etalon, when the effective diameter is only 20mm!!!

Brought to you by the same company that advertises its 60mm-etalon scope as a 70mm...... though to be fair it’s not the only solar manufacturer to employ a creative marketing department.
