Hi Richard .., just off the phone with Joy Heyworth ref the 80mm ED Apo refractor but she knows v little about it but was happy to chat in general terms… lovely lady!
I’m really interested in the refractor…. do you know the make? What is the f/xx please as I would be interested in adapting an external H-alpha filter (Daystar?) to it and am happy to offer £200 or more for it unless it has gone already.
I understand from Joy that you are travelling up on Friday & bringing back the smaller items? Perhaps the refractor too? I’m in Reading Berkshire & Lincolnshire is a bit far for me but not impossible!
Looking forward to hearing feom you.
Best regards
