Just thought I'd help get this forum started.

Recently I received my 2" Autocollimator from Farpoint Astronmical Research link Though I haven't had a chance to use it yet, I thought I'd pass along some of its build qualities.

First off, in 20+ years of observing with reflectors I've never owned a "real" AC. Its always been a plastic cap with "something shiny" on the inside that had a hole through it. This has now changed.

This is one serious AC. This thing is a real work of art. Its made of anodized aluminum with, get this, a real mirror flat. Real glass. NOT "something shiny" It also comes with a rubber cap to help protect the mirror.

I've only had it for a couple of days now and have not had a chance to test it out. But I can't wait till I do!

For more information contact James at the link above. Tell him I sent you!
