Awh, com'on folks. I mentioned about Cliff. Lets step off'a his grave and
get back to atm and not lament about it's demise. Can someone telll me if
they have made their own eyepieces or do they just purchase them? I was
reading a atm book in the library, ahem, the one in the bedroom (doesn't
everybody do that?) and saw some sketches on eyepieces. Now everyone is
making big mirrors and bragging about it (I would too), but what about small
stuff too. Can some one tell me how they go about making the glass for
eyepieces? As most of you know a great mirror can be ruined bu a poor
eyepiece. I have seen that happen on the 36-inch at Lick. It was a
terrible viev of Saturn!
