It took about two-and-a-half minutes during

totality of the 2017 total solar eclipse for Dr. Don Bruns to make history. Using a

Tele Vue-NP101is, Don confirmed Einstein’s prediction of starlight deflection to

an accuracy beyond all previous optical attempts. Whether you make scientific or

family history, the heirloom quality, 60mm to 127mm APO refractors we build in New

York are “imagination-limited” instruments. What will you do with yours?
