Jeff- Probably the best place would be Al himself at www.televue.com or call 1-845-469-4551. I'm sure they could help you.

Joplin-I find it hard to believe that the 24" gave a better view than the 80mm(just joking!). I'll never forget the view got of M13 and M27 through a 17" Dob up at Stellafane. Three dimensional is a good description.

Lens Recoating???

Posted By Gerry Feulner

Bruce- I asked the same question a few pages back and hears what I got. E-mail Barry at dgoptical.com and also siriusoptics.com. I have a 6" refractor lens that I may have recoated eventually and will probably go with Sirius optics. I'm sorry but I didn't follow up on the prices. I'd be interested to know what they would charge you for multicoating your lens.I would suspect $200-250. Gerry

Jaegers refractors still being made?

Jackie- that's not a dumb question at all. I've often asked myself the same question. They were top quality lenses and I wish I had one. Gerry F

Eyepiece Collection

Posted By Gerry Feulner

Mike- I would be interested in knowing what you think of the MK70. I have a 6" f8 refractor and eventually would like to get a 2" eyepiece in the 40-55mm range.A 40mm 70 degree eyepiece would give me a 2 degree field. Thanks, Gerry

Alex- I had exactly the same problem with my Apogee focuser and tried everything you tried and finally gave up and bought a Burgess focuser. By the time I got finished playing with the Apogee it was too messed up to return it. Gerry F
