Antares Orthos
Does anyone know if the Antares orthos are the same as the UO orthos?
Thanks. Jerry |

Plus, Antares has recently transitioned from selling the old style 'round tops' (for lack of a better name here), to selling the newer 'flat tops' that U/O sells for a 'deluxe' premium, but without raising their prices on the new models.

They rival any brand EP in the same class and then some. The old adage applies however, you get what you can pay for in astronomy. |

Lawrence Sayre That sounds correct as I just purchased my Antares ortho and was expecting the round top but got the flat top one instead which looks like pictures of the UO HD. Pretty good deal then, although the vendor said the price will be increasing very soon. I haven't had a chance to try it yet. JK |
