Hi Pete.
I have quite a few pieces. Here's a itemized list:
Refractor Telescopes :
1. William Optics(William Yang) 110mm Fluoro-Star f6.5 oil spaced apochromatic triplet -I use this for solar stuff. It's perfect for use with DayStar filters in my opinion.

Barlows: TeleVue 2" 4x PowerMate/ 1 1/4" 2.5x PowerMate
