I suggest you try posting this on the Classic Scope area of Cloudy
Nights Forum. There are some very kowledgeable amateurs there. Good
luck.FAB

I posted on the Yahoo Cave group and now here in hopes someone might know how
to get some information on my 12.5" Cave mirror. It is from a Cave Astrola and
was made into a dob by Tectron. Mark Haff talks about this scope in a couple of
the early Amateur Astronomy magazines. On the side of the mirror it says " Cave
Optical Company Inc. M716 716 October 14, 1971". I can't find a signature
anywhere although I may be overlooking it. It's a great optic and I'd just like
to see if I can locate some history on it. Any help will be greatly
appreciated.
