Hi Bill, You can ALWAYS count me in for a big Refractor. Darren in Bakersfield ... make them extremely light weight (under ... my cost I'm paying the tooling)...

Bill We got cut off while we were talking and then all I got was busy signals. I was going to ask you if I should get the 8.25" refractor and decide later...
Well Bill, it seems this bad boy will set us back around $1000.00 If true then count me in too. Been extremely busy lately but did finally make the first...
... Mike, I would be very surprised if an 8" carbonfiber tube went under$500. I would guess Bills cost to be at least $1500 but thats just my 2c. Joe...

Tim Ray at Telescope Stability Systems has tripods that can handle this type of instrument. He can make an adapter to handle whatever mount you have. Contact...

Hi Bill, You asked for a source for delrin tubing in order to make the rings for the 210mm scope. I asked a machinist friend of mine that works with and buys...
Ok You better be very fast for this deal.?I have a few scopes that will not have focusers when the new 2.4" focusers arrive. If you want the best deal on a 90...
