Lyra f11 refractor

[Caldwell 14]

Has the forum as opinions on the Lyra f11 4 inch refractor.

I have just bought a 16 inch extension for my mount and will put a GIRO mount on top at a later date, I gotta get another refractor, Newtons are not my bag.

Hi caldwell, do a search for lyra scopes, there is plenty on here about them, and every comment is good, it seems that most people that have the lyra also had the tal 100 and rate the lyra as just a tiny bit better than the tal, and that is praise indeed

Ummm, thats what I heard.

I'm just waiting for someone to get back to me about one of these...fingers crossed.

I bought my Lyra 4" refractor from Glen as a donor scope for a Solar Ha project. I was, and I still am, very impressed with the build and optical quality

I'm totally smitten with my Lyra Optic 150mm f/8. Glen is a proper gent and understands the words "build quality" and "attention to detail".

I found dealing with Glen to be a total pleasure

Not that this helps with this scope, but thought I would add it.

Cheers
