I recently purchased a SaturnScope from Joel Alpers of Rocky Mountain
Memories.
The designer of the SaturnScope is Alan Lewis, who I believe is or was a 
subscriber to this list.  Alan is a fine craftsman, and anyone who sees
this reproduction scope (with enlarged hood for glass wearers) is impressed.
I don't know what type of lenses are used in the SaturnScope I've got, but
they produce a very good image, IMO.

If Alan is on this list, maybe he can enlighten us as to why he chose the
name
SaturnScope?
