Tyler, after much thought I've decided to keep the mirror. I could never afford to replace it. But thanks for your interest! On Oct 5, 2012 5:37 PM, "Tyler Allred" <tyler@allred-astro.com> wrote:
Chuck, Can you email the specifics directly to me. I might be interested... it just depends on how things work out. Thanks for responding. Tyler

The best I can offer is 12.5", f/5. Pyrex. Intermountain Optics, and excellent. Not cheap. On Oct 5, 2012 5:27 PM, "Tyler Allred" <tyler@allred-astro.com> wrote:
Hello again.
Does anyone out there have a killer 12"-14" mirror at between f/3.8 and f/4.5 ? I would prefer the material to be Astro-Sitall, Schott
Supremax,
or Fused Quartz etc., but might consider Pyrex as well. I am looking for an astrograph quality mirror with high Strehl (.98-.99). I know I am unlikely to stumble across such a mirror, but I thought I would ask anyway, just in case! I might even consider an Astro-Sitall blank that I can have figured for my needs. Let me know if you have anything.
Also,
I just thought I would offer my excellent Losmandy G-11/Gemini Level 4 (v1.04) one more time to the local group before I put it up for sale to the rest of the world. This mount has been an excellent performer for both visual and astrophotography. It has carried my scopes for every image I have ever posted on this forum or on my website. It has excellent goto capabilities and computer control through "The Sky" and many other programs. The G-11 has an upgraded precision worm gear, upgraded clutch knobs, upgraded weight stop, and it has been cleaned and maintained to perform beautifully.
The price is $2300 with the heavy wooden tripod or $1950 without. Please let me know if you are interested... I would much prefer to sell it locally and avoid shipping. I might even negotiate a little on price, but not much. It is worth what I am asking.
BTW - I am building a larger imaging scope and just bought a Paramount ME so the G-11 has to go.
Thanks,
Tyler Allred
