I'm pretty late with this post since I just found out about it but the founder of TMB Optical died suddenly on September 13, 2007. I can't believe it since the guy was only 50.
His company made the best apochromatic refractor telescopes anyone in the U.S. had to offer. He ground his first 6-inch f/8 mirror while a teenager and never looked back.
His products range from 80mm f/6 priced at $2,190 all the way through 533mm f/13 (special order). The 533mm works out to be 20.984 inches in diameter with an optical tube length around 272.795 inches or 22.732 feet long.
Although they are not cheap telescopes, the quality is beyond words. They will continue to sell the products for the foreseeable future.
