I'm a small Burgess Optical dealer located in Illinois. Since he is currently sold out of the following items, Bill suggested I notify the group that I have...
When are the planetary series going to be available again? I need a 5mm... maybe a 4mm also. Wes ... From: jarutenbeck To: BurgessRefractors@yahoogroups.com ...
Bill, What ever happened to the 81mm?? I thought you had 2 made up and then were going to take orders? How well did the optics perform on the 2 you hade...
Hi BillP: I can answer your query. The first one -- it turned out to be an 83mm -- is a superb triplet apochromat. I get Serial #1 but Bill hasn't sent it to...
I had a chance to get out and observe last night, so didn't pass it up. The sky was clear and calm, and the 3/4 moon was beautiful. I put my 2.5mm BO/TMB into...
... Quality ED material is not cheap, and does add significantly to the cost. FPL53, for instance, costs 15.5 times the cost of BSL-7 (Ohara's BK7). See...
Hi- I have to agree. I used the 2.5 on my BO91mm triplet at the Tennessee Spring Star Party, and left it tracking on Saturn while I took a tour of other...
Hi, Jim- I don't think that's going to happen. I see no more US dealers on the website. I think Bill's out of the Planetary eypiece business. Wish he'd speak...
... Ditto! I WANT to support Burgess Optical, I am quite happy with my Burgess equipment. But with the eyepieces available elsewhere in the sizes I want I can...
Whoops! You are correct.... my apologies. Wes ... From: sky150us To: BurgessRefractors@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, May 06, 2009 4:10 PM Subject:...
Greeting. I am new to the list and have been trying to contact Burgess Optical for several months now to no avail. Perhaps another list member can tell me...
Yes. Ive tried their email AND their phone number. The email hasnt replied after several attempts and the phone numner never picks up or gets an answering...
Thanks your what help you have given. I will take it that he is not in business anymore since he does has responded to advertised emails and phone numbers for...

Good luck with that. I sent in a 9mm planetary that had fallen apart. Tried off and on for a long time to get a hold of them by phone (either busy or no...
If you want to be and stay in business, you have to be reachable. I certainly don't waste time repeatedly calling any business that can be bothered to take a...
And what???? I just stated that when I called the other day Tammy and I discussed an issue ...... and it was resolved. I won't discuss personal business...
I also had a few email exchanges with Tammy about 10 days ago. Needless to say everything went perfect. A customer since the 1278 (I had 2 at one point) I have...
Hi, George- A singular statement "I spoke with Tammy yesterday" does nothing to answer the question that everyone here has been asking- directly- or...
... That's really uncalled for. Wes has a simple point. Many of us want to know if we should spend our money at Burgess Optical or elsewhere. It isn't that...
If he's going to post an email address it isn't unreasonable to expect him to check it at least once in a while. I find it hard to beleive that he hasn't...
