Hello refract nuts...

I purchased a Coulter Optics 90 MM F10 (I think) Refractor today from a friend of mine. I had never heard of such a scope. Yes, I've heard of and have an 1989 10" Odyssey Dob. A little bit of research on the subject turned up nothing.

Please tell me what you know...... Thanks in advance....Roger Sherman in Ft. Myers, Fl.

Roger, Thinking back over the years(40+), I do not ever recall seeing an ad for a refractor from Coulter, particularly not that size and focal length. I bought an 8" F7 mirror from them in '71(IIRC) before the Odysseys ever came on the market.

Hi Roger.... You may yet get some input on this here but if not you might consider posing the question to the Classics forum over on CN....They have a very active group there and I can think of nowhere else you are likely to find someone with knowledge of that scope.
