Guys,

All of the glass, tools, laps, specs, and drawings are here.  You'll love
this... the ray tracing data is many sheets of print out of a program ran on
a pre-286... The program is the one written up in "Gleanings" in 1981... I
haven't looked at any of this stuff in well over 10 years...I will post
photos and the like over on  Schmidt Cameras and Telescopes.

Thanks Guys, I was needing this... the 6inch "Folsom Maksutov /Schmidt"

Talk with ya'll soon,
Coyoté
