Hey guys, just a quick question regarding this diagonal... I recently sold my scope that included the best (and only 2") diagonal I had and am in the market...
It has been on their website for a couple of months now and should be a good diagonal - unfortunately, they don't seem to have any idea when it will be...
Russell & Warp; The difference between 98% and 99% diagonal reflectivity will be totally invisible. The biggest advantage of a dielectric coating on the...
A question asked on another group that I answered. Question: How will the $200 binoviewer effect the markets future? I think it matters more what they think.:)...
Is anyone from Burgess or from this list planning to be at the Cherry Springs Star Party the weekend of June 24? (not to be confused with the Black Forest star...
Mike - you make some interesting observations. But I have one question... If the move by Bill from 22mm CA to 24mm CA is such a big deal, why isn't the move...
Hi Mark, You are really going to like the Burgess 24's. I know that the 24mm clear aperture does not sound like that much of a big deal, but the differences in...
Does any one know what the physical dimensions of the Paragon eyepieces will be? I know the 40mm I have on order for my SCT seems to be about 6" tall (based on...

... There's a lot to like about the 40 Paragon. Of the limited tests I've run with some friends, we have yet to find an instance where the 41 Panoptic gave as...
... tried ... Renato, Yes, I think Peter Smitka liked the 40mm Paragon very much, when he tested it at NEAF. In fact, I didn't hear one complaint about it,...
Mark; The difficulty in making the "perfect" eyepiece is that people want to use it in so many different kinds of scopes from below F4 Newtonians to F30 Ha...
