Its quite a shock to hear the above news. Mention TMB and you automatically think of a quality product. I am sure both professional and amateur astronomers the world over will mourn his death.

For all his brilliance in designing and producing very high quality lenses, I was so pleased to read the reply to the last question cn asked him.

Quote, CN: Any parting words for our readers?

Don't worry about what telescope you own, or its quality. Just get out under the night sky, and enjoy God's wondrous universe.
