I am constructing a telescope optimized for high resolution CCD imaging applications and would like to use invar rod in the truss structure to minimize dimensional changes due to temperature fluctuations. Has anyone recently purchased a small quantity? If so where did you get it and how much did you pay?
I need four .500" diameter rounds, 65" Long. Invar 36 FM would be nice but not necessarily required especially if the price difference is dramatic.
Thanks,
Mike
