是不是我发一个邮件说我想要，然后10年以后就会回我？

AP160订单现在压在1999年11～12月，目前来看你要现在排队等12～15年，这几乎不可能了，那时候Roland估计早退休了

不买二手的基本没戏了。AP的模式不允许，那老头谁敢说十年后什么样？这老头也够独的，也不收割徒弟什么的

Ok..let's open the case. The scope is fitted very nicely, with the other covers on the side. But because it is fitted so well, it also means you can't attach it with its rings inside the case. 天文家园欢迎您！0 `! N2 t, X. N  S

Now, the dewshield is extended. The finish on the scope is some pebble pearl colour. It is not glossy smooth, but a little pebbly feel to it.

The dewshield has a locking mechanism at its end. You extent it all the way and then do a 1/4 turn to lock it down

Now another angle on the dewshield. The wordings seems to be some sort of decal or sticker. Not too sure if these would come off with our high humidity. Need to be very careful when placing the scope into its case because I am not sure if prolong rubbing of these wordings with the foam in the case would cause the words to come off or not. But it sure look darn nice. You can also see a little of that pebbly finishes to the body. www.astroview.com.cn# B* G  s6 s. I$ Z

Finally the focuser. This is the best part. The focuser is extremely smooth and no issue with slipping when the 2" diagonal and the Pentax 21mm are used together.You can also see a thumbscrew at its side for locking down the focuser. However, the finder base you see below is actually an optional item. And of course, the gold knob is see is the fine focuser. You can also see the focuser locking ring below (the thick band that look ribbed). This focuser ring can be loosen to rotate the focuser or detach the entire focuser from the scope for portability

Ahh...the focuser is a feathertouch upgrade. It is really a joy to use.

Another angle of the focuser from the opposite side. BTW, the ring that locks down the diagonal has 3 thumbscrews and it's really nice.
