hand figured

I liked what NGC-LES had to say , top information .

Before the flood of Chinese made mirrors hit the market , mirrors were hand figured & offered at longer focal ratios .

Iv'e had heaps of scopes from a 12.5 newts & 6" refractor down in aperture .

The best scope was an old Astro Optical 8" F/7 , I pushed it to the theoretical max on those few nights when the seeing close to perfect , saw the pup next to Sirius for the first time & doubles at there limit .

Cheers
Bobby
