This is an old Astro-Physics 6" f/8. I had it powdercoated in "Rebar Green" with an "Emerald Green" metalflake overcoat. The metalflake only really shows when there is directly light shining on it, but it is a beautiful color with medium green sparkling flakes.
Am working with Starlight Instruments to get a new focuser adapter and will equip with Feathertouch 3025B whenever those guys get around to fabricating the adapter.
I had not intended to spend this much money on such and old scope, but it just is such a wonderful scope to veiw with that I eventually decided it was worth it.
The Meade LXD 750 also got a re-paint to a Satin Black, which I think is a HUGE improvement over the original metallicish blue.
