Hi Folks,
Chester Brandon advertised 3, 4, and 6-inch f/15 achromats in 1947 (as Brandon Scientific Development) and 3 and 4-inch objectives in and around the mid-1950s (as Brandon Instruments).
A gentleman named Earl Witherspoon advertised f/15 achromats in the Sky and Telescope classifieds for along time, in the 1950s, and, I believe, early 1960s.
I've seen one telescope with a Witherspoon objective, but have never seen a Brandon.
Does anyone own any of these objectives, used one, or seen one in the field?
Thanks, and clear skies, Alan
