The 10" Royce conical mirror on its cell. |
The spider is a Destiny curved-vane spider. |
A custom mirror cover is included. |
Detail of the conical mirror. It has a center "donut" for ease during collimation. |
The photo, taken a near sunset, has an interesting quality. The telescope is outside for a final "star test". |
The rear showing the mirror cell. The conical mirror is held in place with a center 1/2" nylon bolt, spring and nut. |
Dave chose to use a Helical focuser. Nice! |
The telescope is so light and the motions are so smooth that I needed to install a "break" for some motion control. It works great. |
