Hmm, interesting. I'd think they'd be more concerned about removing
the what, 10 year wait on their other scopes before offering new ones.


That's half the point. Read the message!

How about a cut and paste of some actually useful information, rather than a
whole lot of useless side conversation that assumes everyone belongs to the
yahoo group?

The nice part about the original links was that they could be followed
without
being a member of the group. My thanks to whoever set that up!

At one time, any air-glass surface was bad for refractors. Updates to the
process have apparently reduced the [performance] cost to point where
AP considers it possible to implement an air-spaced 6" APO; that,
as opposed to the current 155 which uses, IIRC, oil-spacing. The nice part
of this, I assume, is that the amount of figuring that is needed is reduced
quite a bit. More of them can be made in the same amount of time --
answering John's issue.

Cool. I don't know why this didn't work for me before, but now that it
does...

Thanks,

Ocean front property in New England during the summer and Southwest
property with mag 7 skies the rest of the year.

That would work for me.
