Hi all.
Anyone know a good mirror vendor in Aus ?
Our old Bintel Dob is 10/ 12 years old still going but the mirrors seen better days. We bought a new on from Bintel great scope, delivered in 2 days. but thought we might try and fix the old one up for a second scope on busy nights. Would buy oversees if we cant get one here for a reasonable price.
Cheers Adrian

do you mean you want to get the old one re-coated? or are you looking for a whole new mirror?

Pretty sure Bintel could arrange to do it too. Also Francis Lord Optics in Gladesville.

If it is a replacement you are after rather than recoating, Andrew's used to have GSO primaries on their website, but I'm unable to find them now. Perhaps give them a call?
From memory they were cheaper than getting a recoat done.
