Well I've finished off the tube assembly for the ISTAR 6" F10 doublet. Came out rather nice if I say so myself.
Next up is the optical testing. As part of that procedure, I'll be doing a side-by-side comparison with my old 6" F10 Jaegers. A very preliminary check out with the bare tube a month ago was quite encouraging.
A doublet should be a good test product for a new vendor. They're "easy" to make and if this sample is good, well that's also good news for us ATMers.
I'll submit the report when the weather is suppose to clear...sometime in July I've heard.
