A 16" Kit for Grant . . .

Greetings Dennis:

Yesterday I popped down to Oroville and picked up my kit.  Very nicely packaged, everything looks good. It was pounding down rain all day yesterday so we decided to take my wife’s Corolla instead of the pickup truck.  The poles fit in through the trunk and the backseat in an opening that is probably intended for skis.  I emptied the parts from the  large box and put them into the trunk as shown in the attached photo.

Zach's 10" F4.5 . . .

Zach's 10" mirror box is complete. Now just
to mount the altitude bearings.

The rocker box is put together with clamps to
check fit. So far, it's great. Next is to varnish and assemble.

More on Zach's 10" F4.5 . . .

Zach's 10", based on a Coulter primary, is coming together nicely.
Here, the rocker box sides, yet to be cut to length, altitude bearings
and assort clamps and wood struts. The mirror box is almost complete.

Curtis picks up his 12" F4....

Curtis, from Orange, California, stopped by to pick up
his 12" F4 telescope. It always a pleasure having
a visit from one of my customers. Have fun with your
new telescope Curtis....

Steve and His 13.1" Telescope . . .

Steve, in Wayland, Massachusetts, fabricated a tube
for his 13.1" telescope.

So far, so good!!

Here, is one of our all aluminum  mirror cells, optimized with Plop,
fits the tube nicely. The adjustable back plate-ring uses
adjustable 3/8" cold-rolled steel threaded rod to mount to the tube.
