Probably 20 or more years ago? All it has on the back is "Stellar f9" with the name "Pond" bellow it. Anyone know anything about this company?

[Re: actionhac]       #3365977 - 09/30/09 12:15 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   I have reached a dead end on this "Stellar" brand mirror. Pretty sure the name Pond scribed on the back is the customer this mirror was made for. I could send it in for testing but I think I'll go ahead and build a OTA for it and see what I have. 10"f9 as you know will require about a 7ft. tube, I have a GEM that can handle it. Could be a door stop or a super nice planetary mirror. I have a Meade LX200EMC 10"f10 OTA that produces fabulous visual images when it and the atmosphere are perfect (very rare), will be interesting to see how this mirror with a minimum size secondary is in comparison.
