Does anyone know what happened to the Cave 8" f/8 circa 1961 complete instrument that I sold to Dr. Richard Buchroeder some years back? The Alika K. Herring mirror was featured in an article in Sky & Telescope magazine. I know that it was sold by Dr. Buchroeder and it made its way to Florida. I am curious as to the new owner and his/her thoughts on its performance. It was one of the best Cave scopes that I ever owned and I got some great views of Jupiter with it, right before Comet Shoemaker-Levy hit.
