Crispyn, from Tuscon, Arizona
and his 10" F5 Telescope

"Hi Dennis,  I promised you I would send a photo of my completed telescope and here it is! Complete with a dobstuff 6 point mirror cell, a destiny curved spider, a 10 inch f5 mirror refigured by Steve Dodds at Nova Optical, and a kineoptics HC-2 focuser.

I am yet to take it out under the stars but from what I've seen just testing everything out, it looks nice and crisp. Your mirror cell works great and I haven't had any trouble with it. Surprisingly, the whole telescope is fairly light, probably in the realm of 50 pounds or so. I can remove the tube from the mirror box for easier transportation which is something I absolutely needed.

Looking forward to first light!

Tom's 14" Mirror -- all set for mounting the mirror cell.

Finding and marking the mirror's center (on the rear).

Here, I'm affixing the 6-point flotation mirror cell to the
mirror with silicone. A hole in the center of the cell
lines up with the center of the mirror -- easy and effective.

A 14" F4.5 strut telescope is underway for Tom in Chesterfield, Missouri.
The 6-point mirror is partially-completed. This telescope will sport the 
Easy Transport (ETT) option as well as a custom color..

Completed today is a 10" F4.7 strut telescope for Diana in 
Wilmington, Delaware. Note the Sky Commander system
on a strut-mounted "stage".

Plenty of ventilation for fast cooling.

Complete is a 10" F4.7 OTA for Diana in Wilmington, Delaware.
Note the Easy Transport Telescope (ETT) option. The ETT makes
the struts 1/2 as long while introducing the intermediate ring for rigidity.
The OTA, including the mirror cover, only weighs 22.5#.

Diana's 10" rocker box is taking shape. This
telescope will have a Sky Commander installed.

(Looks like it's a beautiful sky near Herriman, Utah)

We now install a "break" for the altitude bearings of our rocker boxes. These are simple to make,
simple to install and easy to use.
