ALPO Instrument Section Mission Statement:

Since our telescopes are our observing instruments, I will work with our membership through e-mail, letters, short articles, some may be in the question and answer form and will appear in the ALPO Journal, to educate them about telescopes and to motivate them to improve their instruments.

I offer free optical testing of Newtonian primary and elliptical diagonal mirrors as well as a mirror refiguring service. The mirror must be sent to me and I will test it and give a quote for its refiguring. Shipping and insurnace costs are the responsibility of the owners.

Please send your e-mail with any special requests you might have or questions related to optics, telescope design or your particular telescope.
