Great looking scope, I have a 4" ota without a lens. I should put a Jeagers lens on it and see how it looks and works. Thanks for the inspiration Brian 
Hmmm. you saying you like the Brandon lens better than the Jeagers lens?

I believe oldtimer is referring to a Brandon 4" objective that just sold on the 'bay. (no, I did not buy it either!).

I woulda sniped you on that
one had I seen it.
what is sniping anyway..
Bidding higher than someone
Else?
If you want it bad enough
You'll own it.
makes no difference how much
Time is left...that's why they call it
A auction.

If I did not own a 4" flourite I would have bid. However the optics in that scope have satisfied my 4" cravings except for collectibles and a Zeiss APQ  . Now what to do with all these 4" lenses

Definition of sniping on evil bay. Waiting until the last second of the auction before entering a bid higher than the current one and giving no time for a higher bid. Yes, perfectly legal.

Wow, I though all of us who bid on ebay waited until the last second to bid. If you don't it will be doubtfull you will ever win anything unless your bid is through the roof

That is a sure-fire way to overspend. I set a price and that's it. If I get it, I am the happiest guy on Earth. If I don't, I figure at least I didn't over spend. The days of sneaking away with a deal are far behind...

ok after some bad weather i had a chance to do a little moon viewing with this brandontron tonight and
took it up to 518x on the moon.
there was some haze around the moon and i used a celestron
oreange barlow and a 6mm volacno top and views were fantistic but i need some guide cables on my pier mount
because it was a bit shaky at those powers.
anyway i give this lens a A+ ..views were sharp and i did not even pull out my good eyepieces.
i think i am going to try and find another one of these.
