Re: Coulter RED Tube 10" Reflector...Upgrade or Sell?

AFC, the "new" scope is not likely to have a mirror as good as one that's been refigured and recoated by OWL.

Just a thought.

And when has spending money ever stopped us?




LOL...it has never stopped me before.

You are correct that that an OWL mirror would be a known quantity...but one should hope that a new scope would also have a good mirror.

Otherwise why does anyone buy a new scope?

This hobby really should have an ongoing quality testing program for optics in place so a buyer KNOWS what they are buying.
