A 16" truss telescope is coming together for Joe G in Palos Verdes CA. Here, you can see the mirror box with altitude bearings attached. I make sure the rocker box fits correctly as it comes together. At ths stage of the build, the telescope is close to completion.

Here's a very nice 10" F4.7 for Dan in California, Maryland!! You'll see that the secondary and focuser are not installed. These were packaged by the time I realized I should take a picture.

Installed, also, is a dew shield and Sky Commander system.
