Norm,

Just to add something which may not be apparent from Peters' website is that he will make the scope at whatever focal length you choose to match the mirror you order. A lot of mirror makers will not deviate from their standard choice of F-ratios but some will. I know Geoff (Starkler) ordered a 15"/F4.8 mirror from Mark Suchting about a year ago to give him exactly the eyepiece height he wanted for his SDM telescope. I know Mark is "trying" to avoid making mirrors at custom focal lengths, but he is also trying to expand his working relationship with Peter. You can always ask him and it would cost extra.

Cheers
John B
