Recently I was reading a 1990-91 volume of the
magazine titled "Telescope Making", there is a special
tribute to the refractor telescope by an amateur
astronomer Ronald Tanguay. His tribute is called "The
23rd Psalm for the Refractor" Read it below:
" The Refractor is my telescope; I shall not want
no other. It maketh me see sharp images of the
Planets; it restoreth my faith in optics; it leadeth
me to abundance of Planetary Detail. Yea, though I
walk through the Valley Schmidt-Cass and Dumb Dob, I
shall fear no telescope, for the Achromat and the
Apochromat are with me, and comfort me. Thou preparest
a path before me in the presence of High
Resolution;Thou annointest my eye with Crisp Images
and High Contrast. The images of others pale before
Thee and Thou knowest no equal. Surely Thou shalt
display the true beauty of the Planets to my frail
eyes for al the days of my life, and I shall glory in
the superior Definition of Thy images forever."
Now I know why there are all those double stars list, they are for you
refractor owners
