The time has come.
Brand new , never even out of the box.
This is a Steve Swayze mirror, one of the finest mirror makers in the U.S.
Swayze Optical is synonymous with flawless mirrors and the epitome of perfection.
Coated at Spectrum Coatings in Delton, FL
F/L 4.5, 81" focal length. 1 5/8" thick
This mirror has never even had a center dot, and has never seen a first light.
There's no reason to remove all the packaging since it's never been opened.
The scope is 70% completed, but that's as far as I can go.
There's no waiting for a mirror for 15-18 months now. This is ready for a home.
Mirror is engraved on edge with date, serial number, specs, and Steve's name.
I also have an 18 pt mirror cell made by Nate Currier at Aurora Precision. $850.
Design details are available at aurorap.com.
This mirror cell has never been used in the field.
I also have an upper cage assembly with
Protostar spider, 3.1 secondary holder and mirror , with dew heater, and a 2" Feathertouch focuser. $850.
There are secondary cage clamps attached, made by Nate Currier.
Cage rings are made of Alucobond, an aluminum composite material with superior strength, flatness, and durability. The rings still need to be painted flat black
None of these have ever been outside, or used.
Everything is in flawless condition.
Please feel free to ask for additional pictures, since these were all turned sideways and aren't the greatest.
If you need any additional data on the specs/ dimensions/ etc of the upper cage assembly, ask away.
For the mirror, I'll pay $50 towards shipping.
Thank you very much.
