About BO's new 127mm F/8 achromatic refractor quality:
"I called BO on Monday 12:00 noon EST. Tammy answered and took a message for Bill about my situation. Bill called me back 2 minutes later and gave me a brief education on how the BO 1278 is made. I enjoyed my call tremendously! Bill told me about my objective as he had inspected and tested it himself. He told me that these objectives are polished to 1/20th wave after the 3rd polish. That's how fine the grit is that is used. Also that a good number of these objectives are testing null, as well as approaching null! That explains the Star test results with my Ronchi EP. Anyway in Bill's usual engaging conversation he told me he had one other call that day about what were thought to be scratches on the objectives. I can't say what the out come of that call was. But mine I can and will." 1/20 wave? Yes? Did I understood you correctly? Anybody else believe in such a statement? V.D. |
