    115 objective focal length and f-number

    Thank you for pointing out that we are not looking at simple refractors any more, even though optics remain stuck with measurements from that era. You are of course spot on, scopes are not simple designs, so that even basic measurements are hard to find. Swaro seems on course to keep its secrets.

    Is there not some convention for this, such as center of the first glass surface to center of the focused image?
