  • Telescope contamination by totalitarian origins

    From RichA@21:1/5 to All on Mon Feb 28 15:58:08 2022
    Some people won't buy Chinese scopes, some because they are considered second-rate, some because they don't like supporting a communist dictatorship. Now, we have Russia confirming everyone's worst opinions so I'm wondering how it'll impact outfits like
    LZOS and APM?

    Maybe they'll do what Kaspersky Labs did, and leave Russia?
