Re: [C14] opening a c14


 

Dan,

By not communicating with me directly, using a public forum to
discuss this, not even stating what the specific performance problems
are and how you tested the performance, it appears that your only
intention has been to damage my reputation and the reputation of my
focuser. I await your private communication with me concerning this
matter so that we can resolve any outstanding issues.

This is the first time since the beginning of October that I have had
any communication about the performance of the scope after the
installation of my focuser and correction of an initial BFL spacing
problem. Even still, you have not communicated directly with me.
Specifically, you have not communicated what those problems are. It
seems inappropriate to discuss this in a public forum without having
first allowed me to address the problems you are having. I have never
had the opportunity to test the installation of my focuser in your
scope, since I was never given the complete scope with mount to
evaluate the performance of the scope after installation or even
evaluate the scope before installation of my focuser. From the
beginning, you were aware that this was a prototype with all of the
ramifications that building a prototype involves. There are always
some corrections, tweaking, and fixes when dealing with new
inventions and building prototypes. This was an adaptation of my
invention to your specific scope and your failure to communicate
those problems to me has not allowed me to address those issues.

I have been in the middle of selling my home in San Diego,
dissembling my shop, and moving back to Running Springs; but you have
always had my email address and phone numbers. I have always been
available.

Without question, as per our agreement, I will restore your scope to
its original configuration. However, I would like the opportunity to
test the focuser's performance in your scope and determine what
the problems are, which was also part of our original agreement.

Hi Dan,
about 6 months ago you wrote that you had Don Clement install
his
CCF on your C14.

Having had some time to use it, are you pleased with its
performance?

No. In fact, I'm going to ask Don to remove it and restore the OTA
to its original configuration.
