I just completed a beautiful 14" F4.62 telescope for Jay in Herriman Utah. The Zambuto mirror produces beautiful images. Notice the string option, which eliminates all the flex from the parallel strut design.

Here's a couple of pictures:

Here you can see the dew shield in place. Included is a Telrad
and finder base mounted on separate clamps. The focuser is a
Moonlite 2-speed 2" crayford. Nice telescope.

dew heater.

You can see the Telrad and finder bases. The lower clamp is a 1.25# counterweight.

I've been working on a nice 14" F4.62 telescope with a Zambuto mirror. For those of you who may not know, Zambuto is one of the premium mirror makers -- maybe the best. His reputation is excellent. The telescope is coming together nicely and is beginning to take shape. The scope is being made for Jay in Harriman, UT.

Here's a few photos of the progress so far:
