FLO is a Meade partner?

Just happen to see this ad in Astronomy Now and it has FLO listed as an authorised Meade stockist. 

Is this something that's about to go live or is it a mistake?

We were not aware their ad' in Astronomy Now would go live so soon but - yes - it is true 🙂 

Meade were recently acquired by Orion US so the brand is in good hands. This is a new chapter for them. 

Stock is already at our warehouse and we are adding them to our website as I type. We will post an announcement soon. 

As a specialist astronomy retailer we will focus on their mid / high-end models (i.e. Advanced Coma Free telescopes) and are sourcing direct from the factory. 

Coronado solar telescopes are also part of Meade (so also now owned by Orion) so will be available again at FLO. 

HTH,

When I picked up astronomy again in 2009 I think FLO stocked Meade telescopes and eyepieces, I bought a couple of their Series 5000 "Super Plossls for my Megrez 90

I owned a number of their eyepieces too.

This is intriguing.  Is there any chance you might also be able to stock Wegat's adapters for Meade maks? https://wegatoptical.com/ 🙏🏾

Good news to see Meade secure as a brand for one and nice to see @FLO stocking them 

PST making a return will be good

Unfortunately there is no "Cringe" emoji and the like repertoire so had to laugh instead 🤣
