Hi PGC & All,

I stupidly imagined "IIRC" must have been some new, exotic brand of Ritchey–Chrétien or some-such telescope with ion-milled focus knobs etc.

I also imagined the observer in question making this claim would similarly boast that it was at least the equal of any other sort of 'scope twice it's aperture in resolution or contrast and with whom I was likely to have a de-facto fundamental disagrement over the physical laws as they relate to optics in a visual-use telescope.

Hanging my head in shame ...


Best,
