John, I'm no expert in the matter, so I may be missing something as well, but from the printed Airy disk diameter ranges, I'm guessing that the Plossl plot was...

... You're welcome John. My first post and the Plossl vs. the TMB SWA Paragon spots, were a little hard to understand. I should have made it easier by showing...
Hi Keith, I'm also a second owner of a 102f6. RE the lens, apparently many were really bad, but not all. If you enjoy the views through the scope, as I do,...
Keith & Jim; I believe that the last official posting from Bill Burgess on the site regarding the 102F6 was that a greatly reduced price would be offered to...
Thanks for the reply, and the information. I've looked for other scopes of this size and f-ratio, and there aren't too many of them around. I thought about...
Keith; Easy enough to see if you need to move the baffles. Install your normal diagonal and set the focuser where it needs to be for your eyepiece that...
My baffle has been removed altogether, no detrimental affect that I can see. Have you had yours out? How is it? Mine is good up to 70-100x or so, which is...
Jim; Should be some increase in glare and loss of contrast with a bright object just out of the eyepiece field of view, particularly with a wide field low...
... Rich, That's true, but nothing beats a real knife edge baffle, one with the edges so sharp, that they are like a razor blade. You're right about the...
Thomas; I agree that knife edge baffles, properly sized and positioned and in the correct number, are the way to go. Unfortunately I have seen two far east...
Only had it out once, very briefly; we are going on two straight months of bad weather here in Southwester Washington State. I used the scope at about...
Hope your weather improves soon. I just got in, this was one of those rare nights of very good seeing (Massachusetts). Surprised me because it was windy, but...
Rich, Thanks for the tip, I will look for glare next time I'm out. I have the baffle and could reinsert it, it was removed by the previous owner. I also...
Hi everyone- Is it just me or is the retaining ring replacement with the "micro-baffeling"(aka "threads")just as "shiny" as the original ring? I still love...
Mine were fixed for sure. I have 2 6mm EP's and intentionally replaced the retaining ring on one to test the difference. The result was quite profound. Used a...
I suspect the material per se is just as "shiny", but a shallow angle of incidence is denied by the threading, and the light that does bounce off can be traced...
You could always mask off the exterior of the replacement spacer and then spray the interior with something like Krylon ultra flat black paint. Keep the coat...
With the Winter Star Party starting in about 11 days maybe we will hear about some of the products Bill has had under development. I personally would love to...
Bill; Whadda ya mean can't wait! Now been waiting 8 to 10 months and not getting any younger or richer, unfortunately ;>) Rich Wood ... one guys who just...
... not ... Rich; IIRC, next week it will be a year since I ordered the 22x65. Hopefully they will be ready soon. I'm not sure what happened with the delay,...
Tim; I am in the same boat as I put my name on the list for the 101 Backpacker within a few days of the original announcement leak by WO. It has been a long...
Does anyone know how large the cirles are on the Burgess MRF finder? It looks like the circle in the "dot within circle" mode is larger than the one in the...
Dont hold me to it i think its a half and 1 degree ... From: paostwald To: BurgessRefractors@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, February 10, 2006 1:33 PM Subject:...
Hi Paul, You are correct. The "dot within the circle" mode has the largest circle and the crosshairs (in the "dot, circle, and crosshairs" mode) seem to be...
