The COLOR of UHTC coatings

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo

Anthony,

I asked that question when the first scopes were shipping out, and got mixed replies, some said greenish, some said purplish, some just plain did not know...

At this point in time, I'm not sure if there's a particular COLOR linked to UHTC...

My LX-200GPS is NOT (supposedly, but could be?) UHTC, and has nice purple coatings on the corrector plate...


Could it be that UHTC is a clear coating on top of the EMC or any other coatings, and generates NO particular color?
