  2. So this is where you hide your dirty little Moon loving secret Damian! Taking pictures of it is the first step in admitting your obsession! Moon lovers anonymous...
  3. The pictures look awesome buddy, but to fully appreciate it you have to see it in the flesh! It is an amazing piece of kit, a big well done on an immense project and labour of love! We've all been with you all the way willing you on, feeling your pain and your joy. You now deserve some very clear skies to enjoy it. I don't think anyone on here would mind giving you their share of clear skies so you could enjoy it, a long as they got a quick look through that is

  14. Almost there buddy, you'll soon be sending it off for coating
  15. Cracking news Damian. Sounds like you have renewed vigour and passion for what was once grinding (excuse the pun) you down! Can't wait for it to get figured and for you to start your star testing!

  20. Ohhh! Parabolic mirrors and now we have ply and scope construction. Getting very exciting now buddy!
  21. Damian it's looking great so far! Bet you feel you are now getting somewhere with it! Raymond, you make it sound reasonably simple, but I'm still bewildered you can get it so accurate!
  22. Nice work buddy, we are with you all the way on this!
  23. By the way Raymond, that mirror looks amazing!
  24. You are going to test every half hour or so Damian but how long are you going to figure for each time between testing Damian? 15mins? Or is that too long?
