    Where did you purchase your Orion ED102T? I'm finding it hard to find in stock. Orion has stated that it is now discontinued and have offered no advice on a replacement (They instructed me to look at the 80T and 120 EON but I'm kinda set on the 100mm range).

    Thanks!

    After I read your post I too contacted Orion, yes they have been discontinued.....figures! Maybe I got the last one. You could get a 120 and install a focal reducer/field corrector(which you will probably need if you do AP) to get closer to 100mm range. Did you check on Amazon? Someone probably has limited stock still available.Sorry I can't be more help
