Hard to image they actually list this 60mm at $2800, discounted to $1,999. It does include a 25mm Kellner eyepiece though. That ought to be worth something.

It seems that the only difference between the PRT1 and PRT2 is the slo-mo on the ALT-AZ mount. For that there is a $500 difference in price.

It makes me feel as if I stole all the equipment I bought. Just think, for another $200 you can get the new Ethos 13mm and 8mm eyepieces. This must be a heck of a 60mm.
