Regarding the new Obsession 18 f/4.2 UC series (Ultra Compact)
I will continue offering the Classic series of Obsessions 12.5 to 30 inches.
The new UC series will begin with the 18 inch. I've got one more iteration
to build (I'm on number four)
I think number five version will be finished and ready for production. I
plan on having the final version under the stars end of June. Then
probably go into production in July and have scopes ready for delivery in
late Fall. Cost will be same as the Classic 18 inch Obsession with
Feathertouch focuser.
Next will be a 15 inch UC, then probably something between 18 and 30 but
haven't decided yet.
The UC design is aimed at customers that want all the standard high quality
optics and performance of the Classic Obsession but need the scope to fit
into a car trunk or back seat. And to customers that want an extremely
easy scope to set up and use. Wheel barrow handles included too I think
they aren't really necessary. 2 minute set. All black in color.
Paracorr highly recommend at f/4.2. Complete details after I do a photo
shoot and have time to write up the web text.
Price will go up $200 on orders placed after 1/1/08 on the 18 f/4.2 UC.
********Also there will be an across the board 2% price increase on scope
orders placed after 1/1/08 on both the Classic and UC series. So if anyone
is thinking about a new scope, order before the end of the year.
