Carton 60mm refractor info?

Posted By brad braden

Does anyone have info on Carton 60mm (f.l. 910mm) refractors? Model 619A. I've just aquired one that I believe is from the 60's. Looking for a more precise date, opinions on quality, ect. Have only had a chance to clean and refurbish the german eq. mount. Seeing is very bad in downtown Baltimore so I haven't had a chance to star test it yet.

Brandon eyepiece history

Posted By brad braden

Does anyone know the story of the Brandon eyepieces whose focal lengths are in inches? I have Brandons with 7/8" and 1/2" focal length markings. Both are 1 1/4" barrels, are excellent eyepieces and I would guess from the earlier 60's.
