Hello, my name is Steve Kennedy, owner of Kennedy Optics.
I have been making
large-aperture Newtonian optics for the discerning observer. The mirrors
are personally ground, polish, hand figure, and every mirror is star
tested until they produce images that will satisfy the most
discriminating observer -- you.
All mirrors are figured until they pass a series
of tough optical bench tests, and then they are extensively star tested
over multiple nights in a telescope. The true disposition of a large
telescope optic is best revealed by repeated testing in its true elements,
over a series of nights, in a wide variety of real outdoor situations.
If requested, during star testing, I will employ the intended diagonal
and holder to be used in your telescope.
I have the benefits of prevailing
dark, clear skies at my workshop and observing location in the
California high desert adjacent to Joshua Tree National Park. Customers
are encouraged to come to my workshop and star test their uncoated
mirror themselves with their secondary before taking delivery. |
