can you imagine the trouble parcel force would have folding it to get it through the letter box?

Looks like they have been doing some zonal corrections with a sub diameter lap.

Having seen them bounce a 12" Dob of mine off their van I'm sure they'd have no problems...

[Akyra]

Can I have one on a 12 month finance plan?

[tenbyfifty]

REOSC? Never heard of them - if its not Celestron or Skywatcher I'm not interested.

[Vega]

Wanted:

-8.2 meter diameter tube

-8.2 meter spider vanes

-BIG Bottom step ladder (Fire engine size)

It's a cassegrain design Vega, cancel the long ladder.

Eyepiece behind the mirror. I've been trying to work out the size of the hole in the centre, and who and how long to trepan that out?

Ron.

[Vega]

Ah... thanks for that Ron... would have been fun trying to collimate with a laser on a Newt design!

"Right.. point laser to the middle of the primary mi .... HOLD ON.... there is no middle!" lol

We'll it'll make one FAT scope thats for sure!

See that guy leaning towards the edge of the mirror? He's thinking, "Hmmmm. There's noone about. I bet I could spit a quid right into that hole there..."

And people are worried about keeping their mirrors dust free, now how are they going to keep the missus away with her dreaded "yellow duster"
