does anyone know where I can more info on them. I checked their
japanese site and couldnt find a thing. do they still exist?


I think the only Nikon telescopes currently in production are spotting
scopes. As far as astronomical telescopes, they made a number of long focal
length refractors which culminated in the ED telescopes of the 1980's.
There were three scopes in that group: a 10cm f12 ED doublet, a 6.5cm f12 ED
doublet and a 6.5cm achromat. For more info you can read Ed Ting's review
of the 4" scope. There have been a few of the 4" scopes on astromart.
