Hi Gav,
Have just found this thread again. 6" achro's are the best! I've had mine for a while and LOURVE IT

Thanks to David U for doing a great job on getting the most out of this big baby.
Istar are coming out with the Raycorr really soon.....this year round December is the latest and it will turn achro's into apo's...well worth waiting for. Supposed to cost around $300-400 US. Check out Istar on my Signature.
In the mean time I upgraded the 6" with a GSO 10-1 linear bearing focuser

from Agena Astro in the US for $250 delivered and a Badder semi-apo filter which does amazing things to the moon, as does a William's Optics Bino viewer(thanks Meru!) Binoing a refractor is just sensational, the moon....wow. I wish there were some planets up at a decent time to bino view...
As a refractorholic

I would love to hear what happens next

All the best
Matt
