A 20" for Paul near Honolulu, Hawaii...


Just about complete is a 20" F3.3 for Paul near Honolulu, Hawaii. The Hubble Optics mirror, itself, is the heaviest component of the telescope. At this stage, with the sides of the rocker box completed, I like to assemble the telescope to check for fit, balance and motion. This one is "just right"!!  Now, on to completing the rocker box bottom, ground board and installing the encoders -- and it'll be time to ship this beauty!!
