Have you checked out what's on offer from Long Perng at Andrews? There is a sweet little 110mm f6 quadruplet there for $2000. |
Cheers jjj - had forgotten about Andrews!
How do you find the finder-guider? Can you pickup stars without any problems - or is it only brighter ones that are useable?
Doug
UPDATE: just did a quick search on that Andrews model - doesn't look too good!
