Has anyone in this group ever tried and had success with centering the lenses on the 1278? I have adjusted the focuser so it is centered and gotten the...
Greg: One suggestion is to call Bill, himself, and he will answer this for you, rather than get erroneous suggestions from others. You don't want to crack the...
Greg, In a Meade ED centering is critical, you know then that they have centering screws just for that purpose, on thier cells. In an achro it isn't supposed...
Hi, I would like to know if the 32mm SWA ep performs well in f/5 scopes. How does ep compares to 32mm BK and Widescan ? I also would like to know the 80 series...
... Hello Andre, You can see my comparison at f5.6 in message 6295. Basically the Widescan type III 30 and the Burgess 32 were similar over the field that...
Remember with a 32mm on a 1000mm focal length scope thats only 31X of magnification. In my opinion its its only usable for wide angle / high contrast viewing...
Hi Andre. I use an Orion SkyView Pro mount for both my Burgess 1278 and 1026 refractors. It works well for visual use. I think the 1278 is probably near the...

Hi Diane, I received the exact same info from Bill Burgess.. You may use acetone and not harm the coatings on his scopes. Darrell: If you call Bill he will...

I am interested in the 32mm and 20mm burgess eps. But I don't know if I take the SWA or the UWA series. When does the UWA will be available ? Is the SWA series...

Gerry, Several people on this list have said not to depend on email for contacting Burgess. I have sent him questions on email that he never answered. There...
Interesting. I called Anacortes a few days back. I said that I heard the diagonals were finally arriving there, and they said yes, and that mine would go out...
