Gary,
yep its a real live Astroscan, I mail ordered it direct from Edmund a few
weeks ago after they dropped the price, I decided the time was ripe to try
one of these out.

The adertisements and the literature that come with it say its 1/8 wave
parabolic, but mine sure is NOT.

I don't want to send it back, I like the idea of the astroscan-Houghton, a
wide field fast scope with no coma and flat field. With a Nagler I should
be able to get razor sharp views over the whole field. (I know, using a
Nagler on an Astroscan sounds weird!)
