Jim, The 91mm design scales fairly well, but a 175mm at the same F/Ratio would definitely not have the same color correction. As you increase aperture, you...
Ok Here we go again. First a disclaimer; I cannot be held responsible for the Clouds and Rain that will soon engulf the entire Planet. (Mr Back will have to...
Hey Guys Many of you contacted me about the "once in a lifetime offer" and said that you wanted the scope but did not need all of the eyepieces. You told me...
How about a refresh on what this scope will be/what it will retail for?? Also- when will it be available? Wes Atlantic Beach, FL ... said that ... me how ... ...
I would be VERY interested in this offer. Count me in if it goes through. Thanks Bill! -Jim McPherson ... [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]...
Hi Tom- Thanks for your reply. I understood from long lurking elsewhere that the low f/ ratio probably could not be retained in a larger objective size. I...
Jack Bill is talking about two different designed telescopes in separate postings. The 92mm (91mm?) "Planet Hunter" is a fluorite doublet of approximately 700...
Hey Guys The 82 Triplet uses the same tube (different length) as the 91 Fluorite, focuser, rings, and baffles We are making this scope as a huge upgrade from...
Jack, It is a bit hard to know to what you are referring as there are two threads running here with the same Subject. It helps to cite your reference as I do ...
At one time I had an ST-80 which served well as a finder scope. The ST-80 only had a 1-1/4" focuser and put up some color on bright objects. This new 82mm...
Jack, From the post Bill just put up it appears that both the 82mm "Backpacker" and the 91mm fluorite "Planet Hunter" are both going to be produced in the not...
... Hi- I do not believe Bill is still offering the 91mm at the special price. I ordered one of the 91mm specials, rather late after the announcement, and...
I’m confused… the backpacker was being previously advertised on the website as an 80mm… now it’s being advertised on the Burgess website as a 101mm. Am...
Wes; It sometimes takes a while for the Burgess Optical web site to catch up with the announcements as it is maintained by a third party and some items listed...
Rich, It does take a while for the website to catch up. The specs Bill announced are indeed the current ones. I agree it is always best to look at a product...
Tom; I just received the 3.2mm & 8mm Planetaries so the only one I am now waiting on is the 6mm second generation. I also hope to see some additional focal...
-Add me to the list, Bill-how do I go about getting included- buyig the eyepieces over the phone??? Wes ... said that ... told me how ... Planetary ... enough...
Wes: Please note that, according to the website, Bill will be in England Feb. 9-10 and at the Winter Star Party through the 18th. Donald -Add me to the list,...
O.K., I've kind of asked the question before, haven't really gotten any replies. Does anyone know what the 80mm/101mm Backpackers are going to be? We are being...
Hi there Wes: I didn't jump in earlier, hoping that someone better in the know might respond. But at this point I'll tell you what I recall from earlier posts...
Hi, Mark- Thanks for your in-depth reply. Seems to be difficult to keep up with the world of optics/telescopes! One thing that really puzzled me, is that- I ...
The backpacker is a triplet. The Astro-Tech is a doublet. It is interesting that Bill said its color correction is 1/8000. This is much better than an "normal...
Wes, The current plan is that the 80mm Backpacker will come with a 2 speed Crayford focuser. Jim Rutenbeck ... single or two-speed focuser… and wondering...
Jim- Thanks for the input. Anxious to see how it pans out. Wes ... From: BurgessRefractors@yahoogroups.com [mailto:BurgessRefractors@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf...
