Sad to hear of the passing of this seminal figure of the telescope manufacturing industry.
By providing iconic instruments such as the C8, Johnson and Celestron helped
popularize amateur astronomy by putting decent apertures into a transportable
mount that could be purchased 'off-the-shelf' and that many in the west for the first
time could afford.
We extend sincere condolences to his family and friends.
