This is my first post: Regardless of some opinions on this reflector, I
too ordered an Orion II. I was at TT last week while on my 28th
honeymoon ;-) ;-) ;-) and played with their office demo... Truly
impressive!!! I will continue to receive this reflector because some of
these posting are actually WELL worthwhile. Some folks here are very
professional & courteous and have faithfully answered questions. As
such & if for no other reason - this reflector has substantial merit
toward that end. The insights offered are truly appreciated by myself
and I suspect, many others...

I am also dropping the reflector. I have an Orion II on order and after
a few days of the reflector I thought I had made an error in ordering
the thing.
As we now say in this part of the world adios amigos.
