#1 Figures assume FP = 75mm outside Telescope Tube. See Design Page for more explanation.

     We are happy to supply alternate sizes of elliptical flats.

#3 We expect most orders for smaller mirrors will be for first time buyers for their first telescopes?

     We suggest there is more need for this group to talk about your requirements,

     So have not filled in all the prices in the 6-14" range.
