Maria's 12.5" F4.8 Telescope . . .

And, the altitude bearings and rocker box sides are coming together...

The upper tube assembly (UTA) for Maria's 12.5" F4.8 strut telescope
The focuser is a 2" Moonlite 2-speed focuser with adapter.

A beautiful 12.5" full-thickness mirror, and heavy-duty mirror
cell will be on display in this strut telescope with a
FULL upper tube assembly. I make these every now and 
then -- they're a great solution while using the simplicity of
the strut-telescope itself. This one will have "strings" as well.
