Yes, you could win a fabulous astro-prize at Shingletown Star Party 2007, which takes place from July 9-16, 30 miles east of Redding, California! You could win...
Burgess RefractorsHello! I am new to the group and have been perusing a lot of the older messages. I had to sell off my astro equipment (WO 80 SD and Vixen...
Hi Wes: None of that is Bill Burgess' fault. He designs a telescope and Thomas Back may design the optics for it. Then the factory in China or elsewhere...
I'm not able to agree with you about Bill Burgess NOT keeping promises. In fact, I take issue with it. Bill is an honorable man and if he makes a promise...
Sorry, but I have to agree with Wes. There have been about 3 ED Scopes promised by Burgess since I joined the group in May of 2003. I was put on a presales...
... Scopes ... put ... group ... the ... hands ... I agree. I think it's been like 29 months now since I preordered the BO 22x65 binocular (expected in March...
Been a member of Burgess Group for quite a few years now and enjoy reading the posts. I don't post much but thought it appropriate at this time. I have...
Hi George and everyone else I will give a little up date. The 91 Triplet Super APOs are here and being tested. The first units will go out Tomorrow. The glass...
I completely agree with you. All of Bill's products are worth the wait, and are quality products. My only problem with Burgess is the fact that none of the...
I, too have been a member of this group for a long time. I have been consistently pleased with the performance, quality and price-point of every piece of...
Hi -- My list of Burgess products is also pretty long, starting with the 127f8. Some have involved a wait, but always worth it. (Too many, however, have been...

Bill, Any idea when you will make the packages avaialble? I look forward to findout out more and making a purchase..... Thanks, Jay NJ ... You snooze, you...
Hear, hear George! Well said! Actually, truth be told, BOTH sides have a legitimate leg to stand on, as does ANY very small biz. Great quality, inconsistent ...
One thing I admire and like about Bill is that he is NOT a copycat. He tries to come up with original and unique products. Other companies, many of whom have...
Excellent points, especially regarding the binoviewers. I believe I was the the first to state publicly then and defend to this day that the astro world...
Wes; That is up to Bill I guess. Hear that Bill!! I suspect that he could get it machined in China without too much difficulty. Most of it was CNC machined...
I guess Bill R. and I expounded on Bill's innovative products enough. So anyone who didn't know about these things should be aware of them now. Now for my...
George- What part of NY are you in??? Am moving up there next year..though probably will end up between Wellsboro, PA and Elmira. My wife has her mother & 2 ...
George, if you'll forgive me.....George is a resident of my former nest before I spread my wings to fly off into the great unknown, Long Island. He'll specify....
Sorry. If you want to be nit picky about this, the BC&F was actully first, but they could not (or did not know how to) market it, and so faded into history. ...
Hi, Bill- Yep- used to fly into Syracuse or Ithaca when I was dating my wife… I’m well aware of Coudersport- and the BFSP… which is what got me looking...
Anybody got their 91 Triplet Super APO yet? I'm READY for mine. I've purchased an entire imaging setup for this scope, can't wait to give it a try! -Jim...
I have an 8" Orion Skyquests dob and would like to get a 2" super wide eye piece. I am a novice when it comes to scopes and am not sure what size eye piece to...
Yes. While I do not have a Burgess Planetary eyepiece, they are well thought of. Just about any 'decent' eyepiece that you would purchase will be better than...
In the super wide angle category, to me >70 degrees AFOV, the TVs have the best reputation. Unfortunately the 26mm 2" Nagler costs more than your scope and is...
