I just came across a couple pages that I printed out over a year ago about ASM mirror and telescope company in Canada. What ever happened to them? A quick web search shows that there is still a really poorly designed web page for the company, http://pages.infinit.net/asmprod/index.html and even a US distributor in OH that I've never heard of. http://homepages.accnorwalk.com/tddi/tech2000/asm/
It's a different one from last year. Last year it was APM-US, (now defunct). The prices have gone up since last year, but still look very reasonable compared to other quality truss tube DOBs.
So what's the scoop on this company and their truss tube Dobs? A year or two ago, there was a minimal amount of speculation about these new lightweight vitrified ceramic mirrors being the wave of the future, but I've not read a peep about this company or this concept since then.
Bob Hart: did your friend ever get one of the scopes? How'd it do?
Anybody else? Any info at all on ceramic mirrors, ASM or this whole concept? Or did this go the way of ceramic airplane and auto engines? (ie. nowhere)
Thanks,
Mike Swaim
