ROLL-BACK SALE ON ALL MIRROR OPTICS!!! -- Update, 24 Jul 09

PEGASUS OPTICS announces continuing roll-back to 2008 prices on remaining inventory. (We need to clear our remaining Pyrex inventory.) Since we bought these blanks at last year's prices, you can also buy the mirror you've wanted at last year's prices, from $200 to $500 below this year's prices. When these inventory blanks are gone, prices will revert to this year's prices, which reflects the much higher price I have to pay for new mirror blanks in the current calendar year.

Since on-sale mirrors are near completion, minus coating, your waiting time to receipt is reduced to a few weeks more than the time required to coat the mirror. We need to know which coating you want - 90%, 95% or 98% reflectance - and when we receive payment, your mirror will be processed as needed, shipped to the coater, then on to you. Spectrum Coatings supplies our coatings (see www.Spectrum-Coatings.com).

Bargain Basement

If you need an even steeper discount, John has compiled an up-to-date list of "bargain-basement" mirrors, which are further discounted below premium blanks for cosmetic defects or other minor conditions. Click for prices.

Delivery time

Not only are the prices of these mirrors a terrific bargain, but our delivery time is reduced because the on-hand inventory of mirrors listed here is near completion. When you place your order, the delivery time is a matter of weeks, not months, to get the mirror coated and then shipped direct to you. Spectrum Coatings generally completes mirror coatings within a few days of receipt. Contact me for particulars on the mirror you're interested in.

Availability and pricing is limited

This is a particularly good time to buy mirrors for your personal telescope. Pyrex is in very short supply, and when it's gone, the suppliers of optical glass from whom we buy my mirror blanks will charge on the order of 50% (or even more) for the annealed, generated blanks that I buy from them. When all that is available is a higher-priced material than Pyrex, we will have no choice but to pass along the price increases of the higher-priced alternate substrate to our customers. If you do the math, the inescapable conclusion is that new customers will be paying hundreds more for each mirror when that price increase occurs. For a description of mirrors presently in inventory and awaiting delivery, please see Mirror Prices.

Quality Standard

Our quality standard is 1/10th wave wavefront peak-to-valley, 1/36 wave RMS, and .97 Strehl ratio indicated error. Each mirror is etched with owner name, serial number, and optician signature. Traceability, quality data and certification package corresponding to the serial number is maintained in an historical file.

Guarantee

We are committed to providing customer service to you and to crafting your mirror to deliver superb and unparalleled optical performance. These mirrors are unconditionally guaranteed. If you have any problem with the mirror delivered to you, you may return it for an immediate, no-questions-asked refund.
