[Astrovelo]

Hi Steve, As for your shellac, this should be obtainable from John Boddy`s fine wood and tool store in Boroughbridge in North Yorks

John.

Thanks for that, John. Boroughbridge is just down the road from me.

Hello,

I know that this is a very old thread, but does anyone know if "ASTROVELO" is still an active observer ? I would like to correspond with him regarding the Cooke telescope that he has or had. Or does anyone the whereabouts of this Cooke scope, if he no longer has it ? I know that this is a long shot, but I thought it would be worth a try. He dos not appear to have posted anything on here since 2016. I came across this thread whilst doing an internet search on Early triplet lens telescopes.

Any info that anyone could provide would be greatly appreciated.
