10" F4.7 for Traci G. in San Jose California.
Virtually complete is a 10" F4.7 for Traci G. in San Jose California. The telescope
features a Meade Starfinder primary mirror on a Baltic birch cell. The spider is a Destiny curved-vane "Pro Series" with a 2.3" secondary. The telescope also features a single-speed 2" crayford focuser.

A final few "adjustments" are needed before I'll be able to package and ship the telescope to Traci.

















Detail of the Baltic birch mirror cell and collimation knobs.







The Destiny spider and top ring detail. The "round" plate to the
left is a 1.25" counterweight (which slides up/down the OTA)
for balance, if needed.
