Re: New life for a 29 year old Astroscan

I thought the Astroscans were made in Japan for many years--and those are the much coveted ones.
Given the increasingly incredible and high quality mass-produced mirrors coming out China, however, maybe even the new 'Scans are providing great views.
While the vintage ones I've owned and used could handle high power well (some nice views of Saturn and its Cassini Division), they've always excelled at low power, rich field views-- and, from what I've read, even the ones with less than top quality mirrors still do pretty good at such views.
In any event, impressive work Ken!
