Re: Big bad ugly achros! And love em....


Doink,

sounds nice. Been hearing a bit about those Antares refractors,
and they've been discussed a bit at cloudynights too. A lot
of people are annoyed they're being called 'ED'. I don't see
what the problem is, unless you've got to use FPL-53 glass in
one element before a doublet can be called 'ED'. Lots of
different species of glass out there, no reason there shouldn't
be other doublet designs (other than trad. crown and flint glass)
that will give better correction.

The 6" f/6.5 sounds like a sweet scope. Considering you've got more
than you need, how about we trade. You can have my 90mm f/10 in
trade (??) Heh. So the color aint bad, even for planets?

How much was the Antares OTA?
