Re: 16 inch telescope jarrell ash mirror

Thats some scope - congrats! The irony for me is just last night I was
looking
at a piece of Jarell Ash gear I thought might make a nice addition to my
observing tools... and you got this mirror free. Thats incredible.

I assume lunar images are better than the photos show, but the two
planetary
photos are a good indicator of what the scope is doing. I think you have
a fine instrument, and great kids to help and enjoy it with you.

Thanks for sharing this -
