Tom,

in your n.g. you wrote:

a conduit for Valery, who is the only person that we ever had

the TMB Optical group when I was in the hospital getting multiple

Don't be childish. Before your obscured attacks on Tom I had only heard
about you, and was under the assumption that you were an asset to this
newsgroup. BUT NOW!!!! After all your childish and frankly embarrassing
comments and threads here, I will never ever consider buying anything from
or made by you.

By the way, welcome on my killfile.

What does Valery D make in terms of telescopes to deserve such a

A seemingly magic device that enables an achromat to emulate
an apochromat.

Where is it advertsied? I suppose this VD character keeps a low

around sometime if thats's what he does..

Your ignorance of things astronomical is matched only by your
ignorance of normal, decent human behaviour. Despite its high price
tag. Valery Deryuzhin's Chromacor has done more for the average member
of the amateur astronomical community. Than the costly jewels provided
by the those at the luxury end of the market.(IMHO)
Valery's Achilles heel is his desire to be Ralph Nader, Don Quixote,
Robin Hood, Superman & Roland Christen all rolled into one. But I
don't suppose you've heard of any of those either.
Isn't there a lynching somewhere? Where you could usefully hold the
victim's arms while he gets "taught a lesson"? Better hurry! You don't
want to miss any of the fun!

I want to see the 120 or 150 Synta resolve craterlets in Plato with

I've seen some images taken by Tom Davis that does show this kind of detail,
with and without the "thingy". This "thingy" does not necessarily increase
resolution - that is strictly a function of the aperture size as every amateur
should know by now. All it does is to re-focus the defocused energy in the blue
end of the spectrum so that the image overall is closer to that of an apo (the
blue is brought to the same focus as the green and red). Without it, only the
green is in critical focus, both red and blue are defocused.

I've done that with a Celestron/Synta 150 and MV filter.

If that statement is true (i.e. that you do want to) and not just
another attempt at decrying something you've not used, then there are
sufficient Syntas around for you to be able to do this, with or without
the Chromacor. (Oh, and intentionally mangling the name of a good
product will not turn it into the bit of worthless kit that you, in your
profound ignorance of it, wish to have people believe that it is on the
grounds that you don't like its manufacturer's attitude. That form of
argumentation is essentially a pseudoscientific device.)

Oh, and here's a clue: Resolution is due to aperture.

Best,
Stephen

Yarneg Fantalem'n,

You don't need the Chromacor 'thingy' to see the central craterlet in
Plato (continuuously not just fleetingly) with my (1/6-1/7 wave
undercorrected) 150 Synta/Celestron at 120x. All it takes is steady
seeing, the right lighting and a bit of altitude. (That's "altitude"
not "attitude" BTW).
I'd still buy the Chromacor O1 like a shot(if I could afford it) to
get rid of the purple halo and improve the CA error dramatically. But
the Chromacor costs more than my entire investment in 2 nice used
refractors and two very old (very used) german equatorials and a small
bunch of used & cheapo Plossls.
The price still doesn't make Valery any less of an optician. If it
was so easy to do then somebody else would have udercut him by now.
There are plenty of Chinese achromats out there that could use a
Chromacor. The market is potentially enormous. So, while there are no
copies he can charge what he likes. sigh
