- I would be interested in 4" to 6" aperture. That's 100mm to 150mm.
- It would likely be an Achromatic, and the length would be F10-F15. (OK, those 6" do go down to F8).
- However, I'm also open to considering an Apochromatic, but probably at least F8, rather than today's modern shorter types.
- Price? Well I guess that very much depends on what it is, so I will leave that up to the seller.
Is there anyone out there that may have an older & longer Refractor they would like to sell?
