The Mirror Box is only 4" in height.
Here, the mirror is still in its wrapping.

Coming together is an 10" F4.5  Ultra ULTRA lite telescope for Manoj in Campbell, California. The very small, "minimalist" scope can be lifted with one hand!

The 10" mirror sports 96% enhanced coatings.

The Rear of the Mirror Box and Mirror Cell.
Conical springs on the mirror cell make for a very low profile.

Here the Kydex-type Shield is being fit into place.
This will be a permanent part of the assembly

Ross Sackett's "Moonsilver" Telescope are the
inspiration for this telescope.
