  1. Hi all

    A friend of mine has several antique scopes and I was wondering if anyone might be able to suggest a specialist or restorer that I could contact for some advice. Here are a couple of pics of the scopes in question. One is a small reflector (I think someone has replaced the focusing mechanism). The other is a large 'telescopic' eyeglass made by Broadhurst and Clarkson.

    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

    Cheers

  2. Santa on a test flight Huhuh :)

    Aside from alien spacecraft and exploding meteors I might posit an unlikely but possible explanation. Could it be that you saw two shooting stars that just happened to appear in the same point in the sky... One going in one direction and then, just as that one burnt up as second along the exact same line of sight but travelling in different trajectory which, from your perspective, appeared to be at right angles. One hell of a coincidence but not beyond the bounds of posibility :icon_confused:

  3. Hi all

    It's been said many times before, but I see no reason why it shouldn't be said again. The service from First Light Optics is absolutely first rate. I ordered a SW 127 Supatrak on Wednesday, it arrived on Thursday. What more can you ask for.

    As ever Steve & Martin were a pleasure to speak to. In fact I have to refrain from picking up the phone just to chat to them about all the things I can't afford!

    So lest we ever take this kind of service for granted I just wanted add my thanks to the list...

    yours
