Essays on lenses....

A very interesting read.

Clear skies,

I wish I'd bought an AP 206 F8 EDF back in 1993... Now selling for 3 or 4 times the price... And oh to have gotten one of the scopes with lenses made of the surplus NASA glass.

Judging by Thomas's reports, AP is the way to go for a refractor. Can't wait for my notification of the 160 EDF - I'm on the list nearly four years now...

Cheers
Dave

Dear Santa - please, please, please, please. I'll be really good, honest and I'll do all my chores, go to church, walk the dog, help old ladies across the road, give regularly to charity....

I hope Santa has room in his sleigh for this, with GOTO mount, obviously!

Would it fit in the observatory? I'm sure you'd make it fit

:lol:

I'd probably have to do a swap - take the roof off the house for the scope and move the bed into the observatory!
