Response to two enquiries on Folded refractor

Dear Enquirers,

1. The refractor was being used on a large Eq mount. However the Eq already has a large refractor on it, so I photographed the system on a dob box to enable photos to be available for enquirers.

2. The wavefront on my own personal unit was Barry's own comments made to me a few months after he crafted it for me. It was a rare occasion for Barry to make commentary on wavefront on any of the 4 telescopes he has crafted for me, as he usually does not make such commentary.

I tested the optic on the opthalmic comparator at Toyota's global centre for Metrology in Japan, and Barry's claims were a little light, it measured out a bit better than he recommended.

If you have further enquiry into the sale of this system you will need to refer to the previous ad from Jacob Apfelbaum on I In S.

The system has been returned to him for his further action on the sale.
Trust this assists.

Rgds,
Astromelb.
