Your scopes...they're...beautiful! I don't know what is happening to me. I've never felt this way about a reflector before. I would want to keep whatever I might find original in spite of its shortcomings. It would be great to see Jupiter this summer with some magnification.

Maybe its the seeing here but 120X is about all my best 60mm's can handle, 150X for the 65mm Nippon Kogaku & my 3 76mm scopes, The highest mag. 1 1/4" eyepiece I have is 12.4mm which only produces 66X in my 102mm Tak. That's as far as I've taken it. Hmmm, 15X per inch... I know it can do more. My largest aperture scope is an orange C-8. which handles 160X (20X per inch) before the image deteriorates. Maybe instead of a new scope I should be looking for some new real estate.

Back to the RV-6. I haven't paid enough attention to these in the last few years to know the going price. I see the one on the Indy Craigslist and think $300 would be a pretty great price if shipping weren't an issue/expense. Is that about what you would expect to get if you chose to sell yours?
