One
time only offering at this price |
We are tooling up for a first run of 12.5" f/20 D-Ks to be delivered this fall and winter. OTA will be an attractive, solid and light-weight Surrier truss design. All aluminum construction. Comes with curved spider, right-angle finder and Moonlight focuser. --- As soon as the first one is produced it will be photographed and shown on these pages. |

New
Stuff Coming |
Complete plans and instructions for making two optimized Newtonians. At present, a prototype is virtually completed for an 8" f/8 open Surrier truss tube Newtonian and pictures are available. While the f/8 is a more advanced project, later I will make an 8" f/6 closed tube Newtonian that you can make in two weekends with the simplest of tools and a minimum of experience. And these will be excellent telescopes embodying all of my latest design ideas about high-performance reflectors that will challenge any refractor. |

Parabolic
mirrors for Newtonian telescopes.
Compound reflective optical systems including Cassegrain, Ritchey-Chretien, Dall-Kirkham and various modifications. Refractive systems including achromatic and apochromatic objectives and full aperture corrector catadioptric systems including Schmidt, Maksutov and Houghton types along with near focal corrector systems. Both standard full-thickness and conical cross-section mirrors for Newtonian and compound systems. Articles for the amateur about telescope design, construction and use. |
New product for both amateur astronomers and professionals.
The conical cross-section mirror has arrived for Newtonians. Light in weight but no compromise in wavefront accuracy. - And no flotation cell required. Mounting is simplicity itself. The first real advance in lightweight larger aperture Newtonian telescopes. Details inside!
