I have a copy. It is quite technical, so may suite. Would you like to borrow it? I can pop it in the mail for you.
BTW Bintel sell it if you need it quickly.

Thanks Malcolm,
That sounds great, I'll be out and about Sunday so I could come down for a drive and get it from you if that suits. I'll PM you.

I still like "Telescope Optics - Evaulation and design" by Rutten and van Venrooij. For a telescope maker/ designer it's better.
There are some very good optical webpages which will give you uptodate info....

Thanks also Ken any current reading on this will help me with getting a better understanding and I would think it will also help with setting up my current equipment for better results.
