Well, some Stratus/Hyperion knockoffs apparently have appeared on that internet auction site. No identifying markings were apparent and the EP lacked the step edge allowing insertion in a 2" focusser/barlow. So if I have my story right this is now a knock-off of a knock-off. No doubt they have been around for a while, but tis my first actual sighting.

As a slightly related subject, so the Baader Scopos and discontinued 30mm and 35mm Stratus's have the same lineage?

Regarding cloning, did Vixen LVW begat Baader Hyperion who begat Orion Stratus who then begat the mystery clone?
