Source for premium 8" mirrors (RF Royce?)

Posted By Brad Cottingham
Do a search in this forum for Mark Harry. I don't have his web site nor do I have one of this mirrors, but several experienced observers (who know quality optics when they see them) have said nice things about his work.

He wants $10,000 for it.

Lee,

It was down to $5K when I took a look, so grab your wallet.

12.5" Mirror

Posted By Brad Cottingham
Todd,

Mark is making some good mirrors at a reasonable price. He had some delivery problems but seems to be making progress working down the backlog. I've got a 10" of his that is very good. Don't expect overnight delivery. I think most glass pusher are optimistic on delivery schedules.

Truss tube case

Floyd,

It looks great. I assume this is the 14.5" The only suggestion I can make is that it would look better on MY dining room table. (Along with all the accessories) :-)
