Limerick Astronomy Club

Hello to all
Colum here living in Nenagh always had an interest in Astronomy and it is only now I have decided to pursue it. I have been gifted a bresser skylux nl yes the one that is in Lidl I know this is not much of a scope with such a small aperture and the mount is a bit wobbly. I am not working at the moment so it will be a while before I can upgrade. I have seen this on done deal http://www.donedeal.ie/for-sale/hobbies/4324274 but the advertiser is saying the mirror needs re-coating can anyone tell me roughly what I would expect to pay to get that redone.
Cheers Guys

Hi and welcome to the site,
If you want to recoat the mirror, have a look at the following link on our website, towards the bottom is a list of mirror recoaters
http://www.shannonsideastronomyclub.com ... _shops.htm
For a good cheap price to recoat the mirror, have a look at
http://www.galvoptics.co.uk/
You'd be looking at 100-200 to recoat the mirror I'd guess.

TBH, I'm not sure I'd go for that scope, it is alot of scope for the price but there is better out there.

Hey Colum.. Welcome to the
club boards.. Looking forward
to meeting you at the next meeting..

Cheers Roy
