Must be in good condition with no marks etc
Prefer pyrex but good glass will do if need be

Am making a travel scope and don't want to get into grinding one.

Im not sure of what you mean by f5 or better but Mark Suchting mentioned he had a 10" for sale. You can do far worse than to buy one of his mirrors.

Hi
I assume by better you mean faster but if not I have one of Marks mirrors a 10" F5.7 ond curved vane secondary holder.
But if you are after a cheapie you could get a Chinese one new frrom Lee Andrews

Previous sale fell through as it was not what I was chasing.
Still on the hunt for one!

Thank GS but I have grown lazy in my old age and am chasing one that I do not have to work on.
I do however appreciate the offer.
