Dear Sir,—In reply to yours, I have not had a really good night to test severely the defining powers of the 10 inch mirror, but judging from the few difficult objects I have seen, the mirror promises well, and I have no doubt of its excellence.
I had a fine view of the grand nebula in Orionis, and noticed that the 5th and 6th stars were quite plainly seen, when the aperture was reduced to 5-1/2 inches. I consider your stand a great improvement, being very convenient and steady.
Yours truly,
(Signed.)
