If anyone is planning on buying a small, short-focus refractor guidescope or visual telescope this summer, contact me first. I'll be putting together a few 60mm and 80mm short-to-medium focal length refractors from parts on-hand and will be looking to part with a couple of them. Quality will of course be excellent. Check out the 3" "finder" on the Ealing at SPOC. I built that one, using an excellent, vintage Jaegers objective generously donated by Siegfried. Quality will be similar, except I am installing adjustable precision focusers on this summer's batch. 2" Antares Crayford on the 80mm, 1.25" all-metal R&P on the 60mm.
