14" for Tim Completed. . .

A bit of detail of the DSC stalk and strings.

Note the "strings", Easy Transport Telescope and Sky
Comander digital setting circle with stalk.

The straight-vane spider, focuser and secondary from from
Tim's more traditional and heavier telescope. These components
worked well in the newer lighter format telescope.

Tim sent his mirror cell. And an unusual mount with a
tapered primary mirror and center mount. Nice!!

Tim's 14" -- Close to Completion...

Note the "strings" and DSC stalk
clamps. This telescope will have a
Sky Commander installed.

The balance is perfect. Now to finish the
rocker box bottom, ground board and
install and test the Sky Commander.

Tim's straight-vane spider has been
modified to more easily collimate and
adjust. Note the Telrad and strings.

Tim's Rocker Box Takes Shape...

Tim's rocker box looks good. Perfect fit!!

Note the Telrad and 8x50 finder.

Completed, except for the ALT bearings,
Tim's 14" looks and works great.

And, the "easy transport" is completed.

Note the "strings".  They work great too.

Tim's 14" Remake . . .

Tim, in Prosser, Washington, sent along his mirror, cell,
spider, secondary and focuser to be "remade" into an ultra-lite

I include a custom mirror cover with each of my telescopes.

Nice!!
