Progress while waiting for Fay to go away. Finished rough grinding
yielding a focal length of 24" (this is a 100 mm diameter f 6 mirror)
and finished the #120 grit and have started on the #180. My
magnifications will be a low of 15 X an a high of about 30X.

You can get a four inch refractor with a solid equitorial mount under
500 bucks. Eyepieces for anything cost the earth, it seems.
