as promised here is pics - both primarys (and maybe flats as well) - badly need recoating - they are both somewhere between 8 - 10 year old coatings.
the 8 inch has had a few lives and a few owners - but i'm the last - it started off in an equatorial mount and has been re-spydered with the curved vain and modified hence the patched up tube lol - it actually use my mates first mirror ( and second tube he ever used ) he ever made 26 years ago while a kid at uni studying optics amongst other things and only pyrex glass one - he refigured it during his barely recent heydays to his current perfectionist standards - as you can see he is not big on asthetics - doesnt care - just optics matter
