Pentax quit selling telescopes. It is good that their designs are reappearing so long as they meet or excede the original. This particular telescope is really more of a camera lens and quite difficult to obtain on the secondary market. I stumbled across this info when I was trying to use my camera in prime focus to shoot the Moon on another Vixen telescope.
