Rex,

Sorry to jump in the middle... Orion sells the r200ss.  Or atleast
they used to.  Go here www.telescope.com  and punch r200ss into
their search engine.  For some reason I couldn't find the scope using
their links.?  There isn't even a description page for the scope anymore.
They may in fact be phasing vixen out.  I did find this on vixens site though:

Or...A wanted ad on astromart might get some bites.
