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.

Front of the telescope. The wire is for the secondary
dew heater.

Detail of "mirror box" with dew shield removed.


18-point flotation mirror cell with fan.

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