For all you ATM-ers out there who want to make an Apo refractor: iStar is starting to produce 140mm triplet and 160mm ED doublet lens assemblies: http://www.istar-optical.com/apochromatic.html

I can't see the accounts department approving the 160ED, but that 140 triplet is already impinging on my dreaming. All it needs is a tube and focuser to become a poor-person's version of the Tec 140... hmmm. ;)

Its might be easier to become an "optics related business"... I've got a business number and I show people the stars as part of the business. The discount would probably pay for the shipping at least. Hmmm ;)
