My Tesla dream is slipping away too. But then I bought a 2018 Chevy Volt just a few months ago, and it is everything I ever wanted in an electric vehicle. No need for a Tesla now. This Volt is the

I do think Astro-physics state somewhere that there may be price increases. I can say this, I have been dealing with Astro-physics, Roland, Marj and all the very fine folks at AP, since the 1980’s.

FWIW, recently I had a discussion with Roland where he ranted for a bit (LOL!) about a bunch of big price hikes he had been dealt by his materials suppliers. He was one seriously unhappy

To be fair to AP, no orders were taken by them. Vendors may have asked for deposits from their customers, but that practice is discouraged by AP and this should serve as a good example as to why they

I consider it as part of the strategy of investing in a diverse portfolio. My heirs can deal with the conversion of the various instruments when I’m done and gone.

I am on the list to get one as well. In anticipation of the mount I have been buying accesories for it like counterweights, tripod, keypad, saddle etc either new or used. So being committed in a sense

I always feel a tinge of disappointment every time I see that Ford has increased the price on the Shelby GT500. I still can’t afford one. Darn! -- Dean Jacobsen http://astrophoto.net/wp/ Image

I am not sure there are questions regarding the price increase as much as the methodology in implementing it, and the associated disappointment as these items ship with an expected price point that

Hi All, As a businessman myself. A company is to make money if they do not, they will not survive. If Astro-Physics feels it is justified for this increase no one should question it. Sounds like a lot

Hi all, I too am on a dealer's list to purchase one of these beauties. I used to own an AP1200 that worked flawlessly for many years and I am looking forward to the AP1100. Having said that... I don't

I expect that there will be an increase for the 1600, as well. It will depend on costs for that specific mount, not a pre-determined percentage. Clear Skies, Marj Christen Astro-Physics 11250

Is it plausible/reasonable to conclude that when the 1600 GTO rolls out from the current production run that a similar 20% or so increase is to be expected whether the mount is "standard" or equipped

To Robert's earlier comment about inflation - You ain't seen nothin' yet. We will be seeing $4.50/gallon gas before you know it. In any case, I am very happy with my 1100 GTO mount. No regrets

The 1100 is incredible. Highly portable and can fit in nicely in an observatory if needed. Rock solid and 100% dependable.

Marj, Roland, Karen and crew members: You & Roland and the team at Astro-Physics produce some of the BEST technology driven, mechanically, electronically (and optically) engineered products in the

Ooops, make that “level of quality and service.” Our staff take great pride in their craftsmanship. Clear Skies, Marj Christen Astro-Physics 11250 Forest Hills Road Machesney Park, IL

I should clarify that the costs that played into this increase are not specifically related to our present Covid situation or people working from home. The costs have built up over the years and

In my opinion, the 1100GTO is an exceptional value even at the new price. Will happily take receipt of one of these at the current or even a higher price whenever my name comes up on the list.

Thanks for the feedback, Pete and Scott! It doesn’t hurt to keep us on our toes. 😉 Karen

Same here Karen, thank you for the update and I totally understand the situation A-P is in. I too will continue to wait patiently for the my 1100GTO (I did order via a dealer/vendor). I find the
