The Quest and the Solution – New Product Announcement
|
At last, our exciting news:
The Quest: Design the largest, fast, highly-corrected, airline transportable refractor that can cover a full-format CMOS chip with pinpoint stars to the corners when coupled to its matched Telecompressor-Corrector and provide superb visual performance.
The Solution: 110mm StarFire GTX with its optional Telecompressor-Corrector ready for your next astronomical adventure near or far. Perfect for the 2024 eclipse and a quick and easy scope for any night or day you have a few hours available to observe.
Check out our new webpage with preliminary details that will be updated as final tweaks are made to the mechanical design.
In order to give everyone an equal chance to obtain this versatile scope, we plan to use the same random-drawing format that we used for the 92mm Stowaway. After we establish the price and have more details regarding the case, Telecompressor-Corrector, and other accessories, we will announce the signup for the random drawing. During the week-long signup period, you will have an opportunity to enter and submit your contact information. From this group of interested people, we will randomly choose those who will be notified of the opportunity to purchase a 110mm StarFire GTX.
If you are interested, watch for announcements on the Availability tab of 110mm webpage, in this forum, on our Facebook page and our newsletter. If you would like to receive our newsletter so that you don’t have to be vigilant about watching the website or forum, you can sign up in the black banner at the bottom of our website. https://www.astro-physics.com/

Now we know what that new full frame color camera was for. I hope to see some sample images soon.

Awesome new scope. Definitely count me in on this.
Curious, will the new TCC also work with the bigger 130 GTX?

Me too !!
So, today's announcement was our "bathroom break", but we are not "there" yet. It sounds like we will still have one more "bathroom break" when you open up the signup list, but we won't get "there" until you start drawing names and notifying people that they can purchase a new 110m Starfire GTX scope. So the question remains: "When are we gonna get there ?" Mike

The return of a 4" f/6 AP refractor. My dreams have come true. I got on the Traveler list too late back in the day to get one. Now I just need some luck. This is so exciting.
