Looking to find information on how to contact Larry B Myers California who built the large brass refractor back in 1991.

I found this listing in the 1991 Sky and Telescope Index, July to December 1991. The article was in the September 1991 issue.

"Myers, Larry B., A 6-inch F/13 Refractor in Brass, 305"

Suggest you contact Sky and Telescope staff. They may be able to direct you to his contact information.

One final suggestion. I found this information which I think is from that article. Suggest you search Phil Mattingly at the Nightwatcher Observatory. Phil most likely has Larry Myers contact information.
