    It was around $1100 for everything to my door. Which isn't bad at all! Took a little bit but it's got a nice white.

    Wait - $1100 each, or $1100 total for the pair?

    Heck, even at $1100 each, that's a steal...

    Holy carp! $1100 delivered for the pair??? No. I'm not doing it. But, good grief that's helping to devalue some stuff I need to sell.








    Really? $1100?

    Th-th-that's 4 for 1 Pluto...

    How is the divergence? Got any pictures of the test pattern in the far field?

    One thing that scares me is the dichro mounts. But at this price, it would be no big deal to rip those out and put in a proper set of kinematic mounts.

    I've thought about it on occasion but, the challenge of the time and energy to do it is daunting.

    Bingo. That's the one thing that turned me off right away but... flexmounts and swami's GB dichros could be an improvement.

    I think I'd go with true 3-axis kinematic mounts like you see in the Pluto's. It looks like there is enough room (barely) for those. But 3-axis mounts will allow you to tweak both the near and far field alignment, which might be needed in this configuration.

    I'm more worried about the divergence though.
