Those dark spikes are due to lens spacers?! That's a new one on me! See, you
learn something new every day. -- Sincerely, --- Dave ---------------------------------------------------------------------- It don't mean a thing unless it has that certain "je ne sais quoi" Duke Ellington ---------------------------------------------------------------------- "Ed T" wrote in message nk.net...

But where did the dark spikes come from in the second image? I found the link on the Yahoo refractors group. Roland C. said they were likely the result of the lens spacers extending into the light path, perhaps exacerbated by a bit of turned down edge. Regards, Ed T. |

Perhaps when there wasn't a heavy supplier of a variety of cheap but fairly good quality refractors, those that might wish for one would have been pushed into getting a high-end refractor instead. Now that there is a choice, the sales for the high-enders has probably slackened off a bit, but only for those that were forced to consider them when the buyers were really thinking medium to low-priced instruments.
