Gang, I got a returned mail that I didn't send with an attachment that I didn't attach. I assume that's right as I didn't open the attachment to look at it as...
Don, Its sounds to me that you have a worm which has imbeded itself already and uses your email address. My Macaffe Virus Protection usually takes care of...
It could also just be someone using your address as the "From" email. Doesn't mean you sent it, just that they forged your address to make it look like you...
Donald, it can just be that you corresponded with somebody who has his computer infected and your email address was used by the virus. You can get a free...

Reference this previous post; Hi Guys I retuned yesterday from China with some more samples for NEAF. We now have a large product line and will concentrate on...
i have not gottin Mine yet.. Month ago i ordered a WO 2" diaginal from Anacortes for 99.00 dollars.. as i got freeking tired of laying on the ground to veiw...
Okay, just don't expect a collimatable diagonal with your 4" refractor. Yes, Bill *did* promise one but that was before he got the prototypes in for test and...
Donald: At the risk of sounding like a "newbie", if a TMB designed triplet apocromat lens is to be offered by Bill as upgrade to our 102's, then why should...
Me, too. I got my WO 2" enhanced diagonal from ATWB a couple of months ago. When it comes in, the one from Bill will be "backup" to it. Mark Costello ...
No, there was just the one half-off-coupon. I don't know the status with the 1278 'scopes. In any case there are no more new coupons as they were available...
I believe that everyone who presently owns a Burgess Scope (1026 + 1278) will be getting their 2" diagonals - and later the fine-focus knobs as well. Unless...
George: Don't worry about being a newbie. At one time or another we were all newbies. Now to your question: *Bill* didn't design the doublets and triplets he...
Design is one thing, execution is another. The design is constrained by the cost of the glass and what levels of correction (spherical abberation, chromatic...
Right, Jim, and I wrote Thomas that as he was happy with the Burgess Optical TMB-designed triplet APO binoculars, why would Markus think that it was impossible...
Donald: Thanks for the info. Still baffled with this "ED" glass procurement and/or development issue. I heard that the Russians have great supplies of ED...
Jim J: For the Record: I'm happy with my $200 dollar 78mm (someday to grow up and become a 102mm) Burgess scope. Wonderful pin point stars and great focuser....
The Williams apo 80mm triplet APO OTA is around $1600 at Antacores - so their prices are in line with the high-end guys. They seem to be well made scopes....
Hi Jim, I am curious as to what Thomas Back's standards are going to be for the Burgess lenses. You mentioned many of the challenges that go into making a...
Hi Jim, You brought up many of the challenges in making a quality triplet. It would be great to know what requirments the lenses will be tested to and how they...
Hello everyone.. What is Wrong with the BO Apo lens being Ground and Pollished to the level of the achromates Now? i have a 1278 index #000030.. and i think...
I'd suggest anyone on this forum go to the Burgess Astromart Forum and read Roland Christen's comments on the effects of "compromised" glass in APO's. This is...
I was wrong - the Williams apo lenses are made at LOMO, who I believe also produces the TMB apos. Jim Johnson ... Antacores - ... be ... if ... price ... and ...
I don't know the specifics for the TMB/BO. He (Back) says he'll test the lenses (all or samples?) and if they don't meet his specs, then they won't be sold. As...
I guess that means we won't be receiving our TMB designed triplet "apo" lens set upgrades, as the Chinese can't produce them. That is made clear with these...
