Do you mean the Clark (owned by Siegfired) or the Brandt (aka "Andy") I donated to SLAS/SPOC? Patrick
Patrick, whatever we will be using on the March 4. - Kurt
We'll be using the Brandt lens. Siegfried is having Guy machine an adapter which will allow the use of the Clark lens on special occasions but most of the time my old Brandt lens will be used. The Brandt is 200mm diameter and has a 3,360mm focal length (f/16.8). For those who might not know, the 4th (and the 11th) are level 1 (entry level) refractor classes I'll be teaching at SPOC. Open to all, regardless of astronomy club affiliation but by reservation only. 4 slots remain for the class on the 4th while 2 remain for the 11th. Contact Mark Bloomenthal at markbloomenthal@yahoo.com if interested in registering. Patrick
