Thanks, Richard, for sharing your own. It's beautiful, and a treasure. Did you get this 2"...

It would be great to order from that website, once again, and receive the items.
Yes, the mirrors are excellent. About ten years ago or so, I had sent both mirrors off to a well-known mirror-maker here in the U.S. I was looking to have the two re-coated, but the gentleman didn't see the need to, at the time. He tested the primary-mirror thoroughly, made a video of the tests, and placed them on a CD or DVD for me. I think he was curious as to the level of its figuring and polishing there at Parks, and was pleasantly surprised...
Naturally, after having seen the videos, I was elated. Since that time, some coating has flaked off of the optical-flat. I need to send both off to be re-coated, after all.
The primary-mirror wasn't engraved or signed, but a label was placed on the backside...
I would need to remove that label before sending them off. It'd be great if it was signed, underneath same.
The OTA compared to that of the Orion(Synta) 6" f/5...
I have to wonder if the Parks is at f/5, in fact. Then, the stock primary-cell is rather tall...
